Irish Names

Irish Names is a fascinating exploration of Ireland's rich naming heritage, offering nearly nearly a thousand authentic names drawn from the annals, genealogies, mythology and historical literature of early medieval Ireland. Carefully curated by esteemed scholars Donnchadh Ó Corráin and Fidelma Maguire, this book is both a practical resource for name selection and a cultural treasure trove. Each entry includes historical context, linguistic origins, meanings, anglicised forms, and connections to saints, kings or legendary figures.

From the noble strength of Áed to the poetic elegance of Áine, Irish Names reveals the cultural depth and historical resonance behind traditional Irish names. With thoughtful commentary and a comprehensive index, this volume is essential for anyone interested in Irish heritage, genealogy, or the enduring power of names to carry identity across generations.
