Any good anagrams for mccloy?

Mac or McCloy is a Scottish surname. Also seen spelled as "MacLowe", or "MacLewis" is believed to be an offshoot of the Fullarton clan of Ayershire and recorded names are noted to include both or either Fullarton and MacLoy (or some variation) in records from the 1500s MacLewis being derived from the name Lewis, noted as being a son of Fullarton: "Two Sons Went out of the house of Fullarton one of the Name of Lewis and the other James. Lewis went to Arran and was called McLewis or McCloy and he Acquired Lands in Arran holding of the Croun and was made Crouner of Arran." as noted during the reign King Robert the III of Scotland in the 1300s. The same name may have been derived from Irish Gaelic origins and not be directly related to the MacCloy's of Arran. The Irish origin story is difficult to confirm and derives from a single account published in 1923.
