McGill is a Scottish name from Galloway, Scotland, where the family held a seat. It comes from the Gaelic Mac an Ghoill which means "son of the stranger." The earliest known ancestor--Maurice Macgeil--was recorded in 1231. Roots for this name can also be found in Ireland. The family motto is Sine fine which means "Without end."

Other spellings include "MacGill," "Makgill," and "Magill." Notable people with the surname include American actor Bruce McGill (Collateral, Cinderella Man, Lincoln), American basketball player Bill McGill (New York Knicks, St. Louis Hawks, Los Angeles Lakers), and Irish footballer Brendan McGill (Sunderland, Carlisle United, Gretna). The first McGill to come to America was Archibald McGill in North Carolina in 1740.
