Irish Names
by Donnchadh O Corrain & Fidelma Maguire
€ 15.95
ISBN: 9781843519553
Irish Names contains just under a thousand names selected from the enormous wealth of historical sources - annals, genealogies, myth, legend and epic poetry - that make up the literature of early medieval Ireland. Of the extraordinary variety of names available to the early Irish - some twelve thousand are recorded - only a handful are in current use. This classic work of reference explains the background and meaning of these names, and provides a fascinating insight into the society in which they had their origin.
'This splendid work encapsulates Irish history.' - The Irish Times
If you've ever wondered what some of the popular "Irish" names looked like in the original language, if you want to know what an Irish name means, if you want the history behind the name, this is the book for you.
