From "The Cletic Placenames of Scotland" by W J Watson: Dog, Dogg, Doig, the surname of several landed families in the Kilmadock District, is for Gille Dog, 'St Cadoc's servant' ... The name is now Doag, Doig, Doak. Cadoc died probably c. 570. His name in full was Catmail, in modern Welsh Cadfael, which is for an early Celtic Catu-maglos, 'battle-prince'
