    Dia Dhuit, MacHummel,

    Hummel is German, right? Topographical? If so, it could be rendered "de Humal."
    The prefix "de" was almost always applied to foreign names in Gaelic Ireland. It means "of" or "from" just as it does in French.

    However...the "h" sound disappears when said quickly so maybe we should stick to the Mac prefix and make it a pseudo-patronymic: Mac Humail.

    P.S. I went to school with some Hummels in the Clinton (Huron County) area. Are you related to them?
