From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

MACMUNAGLE, Macmenigall: From Irish MacMaongail, 'son of Maonghal, ' an old Donegal surname.

The Surnames of Scotland (1946) by George Fraser Black (1866-1948)

The MacMonigles are numerous in Co. Donegal and in the city of Derry and those found elsewhere have their origin there. The name is also spelt MacMonigle, MacMonegal and MacMonigal. There are several in the Co. Donegal hearth money rolls of 1665 (one appearing, presumably by error, as O'Monigal). Crone considered Alexander MacMonagle (1848-1919) “the doyen of Ulster journalists”

worthy of a place in his Dictionary of Irish Biography.
