#McLeod (or is it #MACLeod?) ... sounds like #McCloud/#MacCloud, or #McLoud (#McLoudOklahoma) | @ChamberMcLoud #Leod #Mccleod #Mclouth #Mclain #Mccort #Molpus #Mccolm #Mccown
'That name' (below-hyperlinked to a post about that Immortal-'sword fighting' tournament franchise) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “McLeod” is built on ancient words that mean "|Son of Leod" (and "Leod" is built on ancient words that mean "|Ugly."
The city in |Oklahoma was named after railroad-attorney John W. 'McLoud' (a variant of the name McLeod), and became the |Black|berry |Capitol of the World in the 1940s after their Blackberry Growers' Association sent |President Harry Truman a crate of blackberries.
