Mclane Origin and Meaning

The name Mclane is a girl's name meaning "son of the servant of St. John".

Stylized as McLane and sometimes spelled as McLain and McLean, this occupational surname has potential as a given name. With the familiar sounds of popular Lane and Laney, the cool 'Mac' beginning of McKenzie, McKinley and McCall, and a connection to the classic John, McLane is an all-around winner.

As yet undiscovered, McLane was given to just 5 girls (and 6 boys) in the US in a recent year. It was notably borne as a middle name by Benjamin McLane Spock, better known as Dr Spock, the author of Baby and Child Care (1946).
