The "ding" anglicised prefix of Dingwall would refer in similarity expressed to the "thing" as used in the Isle of Man governmental status. The Scottish Gaelic for Dingwall bears no resemblance whatsoever to its anglicised transcription.
If you want to see a good example of how an anglicised name can differ from its original transcription, look up the name of the settlement of Mold in North Wales, then try to pronounce its Welsh equivalent...
