Mcclane is a strong and distinctive name of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic surname "Mac Gille Eathain," which means "son of the servant of Saint John." Pronounced as muh-KLAYN (/məˈkleɪn/), Mcclane exudes a sense of heritage and tradition. Though relatively rare in modern times, with only a handful of occurrences each year in the United States, Mcclane has a timeless appeal. The name gained some pop culture recognition through its association with the iconic character John McClane from the "Die Hard" movie series, adding an element of rugged heroism to its charm. Variations like Mcclain also exist, offering slight alternatives while retaining the same robust essence.
