MacAskill, also spelt Macaskill, is a surname. It is an Anglicisation of the Gaelic Mac Asgaill, meaning "son of Asgall". The Gaelic name Asgall is a reduced form of the Old Norse personal name Ásketill. The name is borne by a noted family on Skye, the MacAskills of Rubha an Dùnain, who historically followed the MacLeods of Dunvegan, possibly serving them as early as the fourteenth century (although documentation is lacking). In Gaelic the MacAskills are known as Clann t-Ascaill, and Clann t-Asgaill. In Scottish Gaelic, the surname is rendered MacAsgaill. In Irish, the surname is rendered Mac Ascaill. Early forms of the name on record in Scotland are Mackaiscail (in 1766), Mackaiscal (in 1769), and Macaiskill (in 1790). An early form of the name in England is Mac Askil (in 1311).Notable persons with the name include:* Angus MacAskill (1825-1863), Scottish-Canadian giant * Claire McCaskill (born 1953), American politician from Missouri * Danny MacAskill (born 1985), Scottish stunt cyclist * Dianne Macaskill, New Zealand archivist * Glenn Macaskill, Zimbabwean-South African writer * Ishbel MacAskill (1941-2011), Scottish singer * J.
