In full: The name of Iain's father is unknown to everyone but himself, so instead, he takes his mother's and grandfather's name, resulting in Iain Mharsaili Fhionnlaigh Dòmhnallach (Finlay's Marsaili's Iain). He can trace his lineage back through several centuries, but only five generations are sufficient to identify him from the other 70% of the population called Iain MacDonald: when applicable he responds to Iain 'ic Marsaili 'ic Fionnlagh 'ic Lachlann 'ic Somhairle 'ic Eachann. In his youth, he was called Iain Neònach (Strange/Odd Iain) out of spite, but he is commonly referred to as Iain Bhàn (Fair Iain) due to the colour of his hair.
