The masculine given name Donald is a version of the Scottish Gaelic name Domhnall , historically the standard Anglicization of the name in Scotland. The name is ultimately derived from the Proto-Celtic word elements dubno and val . The final -d on Donald is partly derived from a misinterpretation of the Gaelic pronunciation by English-speakers, and partly associated with the spelling of similar sounding Germanic-language names, such as Ronald. A short form of Donald is Don. Pet forms of Donald include Donnie, Donny, and Dolly. The feminine given name Donella is derived from Donald. Donald has numerous other Celtic-language cognates: Irish Dónal , Old Irish Domnall, Welsh Dyfnwal, Old Welsh Dumngual, Cumbric Dumngual, and Common Celtic *Dumno-ualos . Although the feminine given name Donna is sometimes used as a feminine form of Donald, the names are not etymologically related.
