9780862819620: Irish First Names (Pocket Guides)

Synopsis

In this compact guide, Ronan Coghlan provides a comprehensive dictionary of Irish first names, giving the derivation and history of each and, where appropriate, the Irish translation. There is also guidance on pronunciation, different spellings and even advice to parents choosing a name. Earlier names which are no longer in use but which are of historical interest are included as are more recent names introduced to Ireland.

Since naming patterns reflect a country's past, this book will appeal not only to parents but to anyone with an interest in Ireland and its history.
