Recordings of People Saying ‘McDonald’s

British English [muhk-Don-uhldz] [məkˈdɒnəldz]

US English 1 [mack-DON-uhldz]

US English 2 [mik-DAHN-uhldz]

Singapore [mac-donna]

Korean [mac-don-aye-der]

Japanese [ma-ku-do-na-ru-do]

So Which is Correct?

Mac or Mc is a Gaelic name, so we must ask an Irish or Scottish person.

Apparently, there is no Irish/Scottish difference between Mac or Mc. ‘Mac’ is actually an individual word that means “son of”. Some families spell it one way, some another: Macdonald is the same as McDonald and Mcdonald. Old records contain spellings Mac and others Mc, because standardised spelling is a very recent phenomenon. The spelling can even change over the life of one person. i.e. birth, baptism, marriage and funeral records could have different spellings.
