Douglas has a cool meaning as well. If anything, I just believe due to its prominence as a name in the United States, Doug seems so plain, but it really is an interesting, Scottish-originated name, meaning "black stream" or "dark grey-water", or if you ask certain people "dweller by the black stream". Its Scottish form is spelled "Dùbhghlas", and its Irish forms are "Dúghlas" and "Dubhghlas". It originated as a Clan name of Clan Douglas, of the village of Douglas, South Lanarkshire, Scottland.

Doug may seem plain to our ears that are used to it, but there's as rich a history behind it as there is behind Priyanka.
