256 documented Spellings of MacMillan.

Regardless of nationality, people were not particular about the spellings of their surnames until the 20th century. Nor were the records of the time. Therefore, there is a great variety of spellings of any name. Surnames weren't employed in Western Europe until the 12th century and then only among the nobility. A man would have been known by his given name and his father's name, a nickname or a reference to where he lived or was born. Highlanders might not have adopted a surname until the late 18th or early 19th centuries, sometimes only when they emigrated.

Another significant factor in spelling inconsistency was emigrants from the British colonies would often be illiterate. If Scottish Highlanders, they'd often only have spoken Gaelic or "Erse" as it was then referred to. In either case, the spelling of their names would have been interpreted phonetically by English-speaking clerks. This also applied to Scotland itself, where Gaelic names pronounced in the wide variety of local Scottish accents received an equally wide variety of spellings.

The "official" spelling of MacMillan (as applied to the Chief and clan) wasn't consistently applied until the mid-19th century.
