The Iclandic equivalent of the name of the junk food concern is
Magdufnalls. As in the example
Magbjóður (Macbeth), mentioned in the book
Keltar á Íslandi by Hermann Pálsson, surnames starting with
mac- are icelandicized by adding the stem of the etymologically related Icelandic
mögur (son):
mag- to the nominative form of the second element. The masculine personal name Donald derives from the Gaelic name
Domhnall (Icelandicized to
Dufn(i)all in Old Icelandic writs), which means "ruler of the world", composed of the old Celtic
dumno "world" and
val "rule".
Magdufnallshús: MacDonalds restaurant
Magdufnallsfíkill, Magdufnalingur: junk food addict
