That would be be Mac Láimh!

MCMANUS This is Anglicised from Mac Mánais (older spelling Mac Maghnuis). Pronounced MAC MAUN-ISH and MAC MINE-ISH respectively. The name means 'son of Mánas/Maghnus.' This is the Gaelic (be it Irish or Scottish) version of the Norse name Magnus. It would have been common among the early Norse settlers who were assimilated into Gaelic culture.
