Very true, given that the name simply means "son of Michael", your particular name could have come from any clan or region. For instance, you ancestor may have been a man named Michael who was a member of the MacDonald clan, his son would have been _____ MacMichael of Clan MacDonald. Or it could have been any other clan, or maybe not affiliated with a clan at all.
Only through research into your own family would you be able to find out for sure.
