In English My name is Michael. But in Irish the ‘a’ and the ‘e’ change places thus becoming Micheal (pronounced Mee-haul). Or so I am given to understand, Myself not being an Irish speaker.
Wow, I love these baby names lists. You explain the names and their pronunciations so well. I think my favorite that you mentioned was Saebhreathach. Would love a video or series on Irish mythology and legends. So interesting and well done!
i know im randomly asking but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I love any tips you can offer me!
Thank you for posting these videos, they have been a great help in my job as an English postman working in a republican area of Northern Ireland, I can see my customers appreciate the effort even if i get the pronounciation slightly wrong sometimes...
@@WolfeMomma - Ummmm....how do you pronounce the name Aoibheann? I know that name isn't here...but I was going to bring up the names Kennedy and Shannon too 😊
@@WolfeMomma you probably won't ever see this comment, but I hope you can help me. How does one pronounce the name "Eochaidh?" It was the name of the last king of the Fir Bolg, the original inhabitants of Eire before the arrival of the Tuatha de Dunann, and just so happens to be my namesake, but the problem is neither me or my parents speak Irish, or are natives of the isles. I have pronounced it twenty different ways and I am well known in my town, but I have no idea how to actually pronounce my name. If you could help me, I would really, really appreciate it as you'll solve a twenty-two year long mystery. XD.
@@fatherted776I would pronounce is Oh-ka (with a soft k, not a hard k sound). In other places in Ireland it might be pronounced Oh-kee (again with a soft k). Hope that helps! 😊 Are either of them how you have been pronouncing it?
I’ve certainly heard “Angus” before - as a name, not a cattle breed (but that too) - but interestingly, I would immediately think of it as a stereotypical Scottish name. 😀 - just my 2 cents from across the pond
My name is Donovan and it is Gaelic and it means dark warrior but sometimes I go by my nickname Donny because so many people mispronounce my name wrong lol
There's no K in the Irish language or Y so those names are definitely spelt wrong. Ockey is spellt Eochaidh or Eochaí in Irish. Ardcill would be spelt with a C. Burne is an English spelling too. Slevin is wrong too as V is only used for imported words in Irish. There are two Ns in Donn. Cuan is a name on its own too without the Donn.
Dam, I just watched your other vid on Boys names and should have watched this one when you first broadcast it! It seems I have used the Anglisied version of Conchobar! Here is what I wrote on your Boys Names Vid; "I'm from Ulster, many years ago. recently I got a Hungarian Vizsla puppy for my son and called the puppy Connor. A good old Ulster name - I understand it means lover of hounds. I really enjoyed you channel. Ireland is one people, one nation, one heritage." If I had seen this vid in January, It would have been in time to correctly name the puppy.
@@sweetlife031 well like any name in a native language is going to be hard to pronounce at first, but if we stopped using our Irish names, they would die out. We don't speak English naturally,Irish is our mother tongue.i find your comment slightly patronizing,is like say all Italian names, Spanish names Irish names shouldn't be used because we have to explain the pronunciation.
@@katrinasbeauty27 Maith Thú a Cháitríne The same ideas and comparisons came to my mind. I went to High School with a guy named Gaetano. He was of Italian decent no one found it strange. He used Gate as a nickname. I am in the U.S. and people of Italian and Latin American decent use Italian and Spanish names frequently. Sadly, I have learned that the Irish who came here after the Potato Genocide of the 1840s left their language and culture in Ireland, hence Irish names are less common in the U.S. Is Mise Mike

Hey there! So you mentioned the name "Ockey." I believe it has the same root word as another name I've heard of and love -- Keough. Do you know anything about that name? I haven't been able to learn much about it, just that it roughly means "horseman."
Found your channel a short while ago and very much enjoy your videos 🌷 ... have passed some on to family. I am in need of finding a translation into Irish Gaelic from the North ... county Antrim area. Do you have any recommendations on where I can find a website or person to help? Many thanks.
Thank you! Someone recommended www.focloir.ie to me and I find it really helpful. You can hear the different pronunciations of words from each province. I'm not sure how good it would be for big translations but for words and short sentences it's really good :)

These are just a burden to name your kids these names unless they never leave a deep Irish village. My neice is named, Siobhan. Welcome to a life of every customer service or business call that starts with, "Hi, Cyo-Ban."
Holy crap my real name is Justin. I just never use it on any social media, emails, or even here on TH-cam. Now I can probably start using this version and unless someone can speak native Gaelic, nobody will ever know it means Justin! Lol that's so cool. Thanks for teaching me something new today and its personal so that makes it so much cooler!!!
Have to disagree on Ailbe. I met an Ailbhe before and she pronounced it Al-ve. The Ail sound in Irish would be a hard A sound like in Aisling rather than the ail in ailment.
Never heard of that name here. Langley is as close as I have heard. Mind you, a lot of names were mispronounced and misspelled when people were entering north America. Such as Bergin becoming Berigin.

@Wolfe Momma Why do some names have just the initial letter as a capital, while others have another capital letter/s throughout but there are no gaps or hyphens?
Saebhreathach = Justin. I CACKLED 😂
well, the truth is that justin is from latin (iustus, iustinian) and is simply the translation for "just".

I met a fellow named Colmcille, meaning "dove of the church", and I thought it a lovely name! (Ardkill reminded me of it)
1:03 I've also come across "Aedan", but I trust this is just another variant of Aiden?
It is :)
Irish-anglo spelling would be A-I-D-A-N, little fiery one. it's my fiance's name
I'm sorry but Setanta sounds like some obscure font name like webdings or something

That's because Irish and Scots gaelic are basically the same language , sadly divided by time and distance at this point.
In Spanish we also say Don out respect too, it's just pronounced a bit differently.

The correct term is Gaeilge. Gaelic is the general term for Irish and Scottish culture
It’s not gaelic it’s gaeilge
