MacLeod
MacLeod and McLeod /məˈklaʊd/ are surnames in the English language. Variant forms of the names are Macleod and M‘Leod.
Generally, the names are considered to be Anglicised forms of the Scottish Gaelic MacLeòid, meaning "son of Leòd". However, in some cases the names can also be Anglicised forms of the Irish Mac Leóid. Another origin for the name, according to late 19th-century Irish genealogist John O'Hart, is from the Irish Mac Giolla Mochadha (commonly Anglicised as MacGillicudy).
One of the earliest occurrences of the surname is of Gillandres MacLeod, in 1227. There are two recognised Scottish clans with the surname: Clan MacLeod of Harris and Skye, and Clan MacLeod of Lewis and Raasay. The earliest record of these two families, using a form of the surname MacLeod, occurs in the mid 14th century.
There are also documented cases of Scottish missionaries in Canada using McLeod as an "Anglicisation" of the indigenous Cree language name Mahkiyoc (meaning "the big one"), which accounts for its occurrence amongst Canadian people of Cree heritage.
McLeod, Edmonton
McLeod is a residential neighbourhood in north east Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The neighbourhood is bounded on the south by 144 Avenue, on the north by 153 Avenue, on the east by 58 Street and on the west by 66 Street.
Most of the residential development in the neighbourhood, according to the 2001 federal census, were constructed during the 1960s and 1970s. Just over half of all residences (54.9%) were built during the 1960s and one out of every four (26.7%) were constructed during the 1970s. Most of the remaining residences were built during the late 1980s.
According to the 2005 municipal census, 100% of the residences in the neighbourhood are single-family dwellings. Substantially all of the residences (96%) are owner-occupied.
Demographics
In the City of Edmonton's 2012 municipal census, McLeod had a population of 2,314 living in 876 dwellings, a -4.6% change from its 2009 population of 2,426. With a land area of 0.97 km2 (0.37 sq mi), it had a population density of 2,385.6 people/km2 in 2012.
McLeod (tool)
The McLeod rake is a two-sided blade on a long, wooden-handle. It is a standard yet esoteric tool during wildfire suppression and trail restoration. The combination tool was created in 1905 by Malcolm McLeod, a US Forest Service ranger at the Sierra National Forest, with a large hoe-like blade on one side and a tined blade on the other.
The McLeod was designed to rake fire lines with the teeth and cut branches and sod with the sharpened hoe edge, but it has found other uses. It can remove slough and berm from a trail, tamp or compact tread, and can shape a trail's backslope.
The tool can also be used for hand crimping straw mulch into soil a minimum depth of 2 inches, and is sometimes specified by the State of Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety for use during erosion control and soil amendment activities.
Because of its shape, the McLeod is an awkward tool to transport and store. Some McLeod tools are made with a removable blade to partially mitigate this problem. Ideally it is carried with the tines pointing toward the ground for safety, with a sheath over the cutting edge. However, the mass distribution makes it difficult to carry in this orientation consistently.
