McLysaght, in "The Surnames of Ireland," says "Mac Elderry: Woulfe gives Mac Giolla Dorcha (dorcha, dark) as the Irish form, which is probably correct. It is a well-known Tyrone name now numerous in Co. Antrim." He adds "Almost all names beginning with MacEl- have also the alternative spelling MacIl-."
