This surname is of Irish and Scottish origin, and is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic " MacCuindilis ", a patronymic from the personal name " Cuindleas ", of uncertain origin, however, it may refer to a hound. The surname is very well recorded in Ulster; this would indicate that the personal name was introduced into Ireland by the Gallowglasses, who were mercenary soldiers from Scotland, who came to Ulster in 1258.
