@@WhyTH-camWhy hi, the most commonly used languages in Africa are French and English, depending on the country. Swahili is mostly used in parts East Africa and it's being taught in South Africa. I'd recommend doing research on the country you'd like to visit. Mozambique is the Brazil of Africa 😀, they speak Portuguese and in Equatorial Guniea the speak Spanish. Other than those 2 countries, even Arabic speaking countries like Egypt and Somalia speak English.
@@Mashariki_0 Alright thank you! I've just been really interested in learning an actual african language and swahili seems the most common. It's good to know that I can get around with my 2 languages.
Zoran is also a Serbian name, and also some other Slavic countries have it, and it comes from word zora, which means dawn. It is a male name. Female version would be Zorana or Zora or Zorica (little Dawn). Serbs mixed with Celts back in the day so perhaps the name was picked up by one from the other, or it's just a coincidence that it exists in both countries.
I've always loved the name Zora, fell in love with the name Zoran (please excuse the incorrect spelling, I don't know how to do the accent mark) as soon as I heard it in this video, and fell in love with each of these variations lol.
this!! I love Irish names, and I know a lot get transliterated into English, so I'd be interested to know if any well-known English names have Irish origins or name-worthy translations.
Does this blogger ever answer your questions? I've asked her several questions and she never answers. We named our daughter Mallory and it was my husband's grandmother's maiden name she was from Ireland.
First up, that’s an English name from the French name malheuré, (old French meaning “unhappy”) and it’s Mealairín in Irish. So it’s Norse, migrating from Northern France, through England (Leicester ), then to Ireland during the Norman conquest. Your version came from England. The name was Nobel so there’s plenty of information via English publications.
I have met quite a few Faolan’s here in the states but spelled Fallon (pronounced Fal-in) and I love it. That name and Conagh is first on our baby girl name list along with Pearson.
I worked for a uk company for 19 years, you can imagine the fun I had explaining my name Bríd 😀 I was called bird most days or Bree and bread by my Scottish colleagues 😂
The name 'Zoran' is a fairly common male name in the Slavic countries of the Balkans. It is the male version, and the female version is 'Zorana', "Zora', 'Zorka' and means 'dawn'. :)
I’ve really enjoyed all your naming videos! They’ve been so useful for character naming, and I love how thorough you are with pronunciations and meanings! Thank you for putting these lists together! 💜
Ok...I love when you say emm...others might say umm...emm is much better! Love your videos and the way you completely investigate and give every spelling, pronunciation, meaning and other trivia re every name! Listening to you is quite relaxing. 🙈🙉🙊
Thats funny because even though I'm pretty sure she's irish most of what she says sounds quite american. Like the emmm is probably the only part where she sounds irish.
I've listened again and when she says fada, she sounds quite irish. Its funny though when she says "irish" she sound really american. When she says enda it sounds irish. When she says "lot" it sounds american. "Taoiseach" obviously sounds irish. "version" also sounds american. When she says "one" it sounds american. Ye definitly irish but she seems to have spent a lot of time in the states
Yay my name is featured for the first time ever in a video for baby names (as you can see from my username) and my name is pronounced ree-gun; i HATE it when people say ray-gun because that would be spelt reagan but yeah im happy my name has finally been recognised 💚
The reason you couldn't find anything about "Zorán" is because it isn't real. You can tell because there is no letter z in the Irish language. There is also no j, k, q, v, w, or y, so anything with those letters has either been Anglicized or just isn't Irish.
Hey there Irish folks! I`d like to know whether "Sean" is also gender neutral, albeit more popular for boys? Or strictly male, and Sean Young is just a wilful exception?? - Very awesome / interestinng video, thank you to WolfeMomma.
Seán is the Irish for 'John', and thus it's only been used in a masculine sense afaik, at least in Ireland and in a traditional sense. Seána (Shawna) is the modern female version.
Zorán wouldn't be a traditional Irish name, as there is no Z in the traditional Irish Alphabet. Maybe an anglicised version of Sárán? (means Noble Chief). Any of the names with an Sh- spelling are also non-traditional as an sh- in Irish is produced with a slender S spelling (a la Siobhán). If we add an h (Shiobhan) then Shiv-awn become Hiv-awn. So for example the traditional spelling of Shea is Sé. Not that there's anything wrong with spelling it Shea, but it is not a traditional Irish spelling of the name! ; )
Hello dear teacher Thank you so much for your help and advice,i do appreciate your job.I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. Take care and have a good time. All the best. Your Student from Algeria.
i tried googling the name meaning for zoran and i found somewhere that it said the meaning was “dawn” or “daybreak”. i’m not irish so i’m not sure how true this is ❤️
My fiancé’s name is Jordan. That’s so cool what his name would be in Irish. And I go by Kasey so it’s extra interesting to see what my nick name would be in Irish. Lol it would be more of a pain spelling that than my real name that’s already spelled differently. 😅 I love Irish names but sadly I’d never go for any because I live in the states and I know the hell that child would go through having to explain the spelling and pronunciation of their name.
Finally, Kerry makes a list! LOL! Someone asked me what my nickname was, "Uh, it's Kerry." "But what are you called for short." "Yup, still Kerry." My mom will call me a short Keh (Brooklyn accent), but no one else shortens it.
Zoran is a male name in my country(Croatia) and countries in our sorounding. There is a female name Zora. It means dawn. There is one other Zorica(little zora or little dawn). Who would of thought we have that in comon
In Croatian, "Zoran" means "morning" or "dawn" ("Zora" in Croatian is "dawn") so I wonder if that might be a similar root of it's meaning as an Irish name?
I found Zoran on Behind The name Search Results. The site says that Zoran is Croatian, Serbian, Slovene, Macedonian but doesn't say Irish, it's posted as Masculine and a form of the Feminine name, Zora, so I clicked on that one. so Zora is Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Serbian, Slovene, Bulgarian, Macedonian, again, Irish was not included. Under meaning and history, it says: From a South and West Slavic word meaning "dawn, aurora". All I could find, sorry. Hope this helps a little! :)
ayy! My name is Caolan, except spelt different but that's exactly how you pronounce it- my parents wanted Caolan but didn't like the spelling lol. Surprised to hear my name!

And btw i love irish names thanks for telling about them 😊😊
MiraSona I’ve never heard of this name and can’t find any reference to it beyond the character in the book. The correct pronunciation would be Shee-ya-hawn

I watched the Girl names video and the Boy names video and am noticing a pattern. When you spell the pronunciation, you take out half or more of the letters. What's up with that?
Lindsay. Another great video. We were wondering if you would do a video about some Irish St. Patricks Day traditions. Here in the States it has primarily come to mean drink as much cheap green beer until you throw up or eat corned beef and cabbage. What are the traditions from Ireland and what are some common practices? Thanks. Dan & Deb Brawn Wisconsin.
Hi, corned beef and cabbage is not, or never has been an Irish traditional meal. In parts of Ireland a traditional meal is still Bacon and Cabbage and Potatoes. When some emigrants went to the US, they were unable to get Bacon, so they substituted corned beef instead, You may very occasionally find it in a restaurant aimed at American tourists, but it would usually be bacon. Here corned beef is a cold meat bought sliced from the deli, to put in sandwiches ect.
@@bridgetmurphy4826 great reply! I think that the American corned beef is similar to the Cockney boiled beef (and carrots) which was cured with saltpetre. My mother got the recipe from butchers in Smithfield Market. London, not long after we moved from Belfast. It was delicious but nothing at all like Fray Bentos corned beef, which most of us Irish people would have been familiar with!
ao can either be "ee" or "ay" and that usually depends on the dialect.. Where in Ireland you are. aoi is almost always pronounced "ee" though, like Saoirse or Aoife 🙂
Please, keep these Irish names alive, they're all so unique and sounds beautiful :)

I think Zoran must be from some other language because there is no Z in the original Irish alphabet.
Sounds Greek.
Or it could originally have been 2 letters together sounding as one.
My sister worked in Italy. They don't have 'th' in their vocabulary, so had difficulty saying her name 'Ruth.' 😃
I believe it is Yugoslav
Yea, Zoran couldn’t be Irish (in Z in Irish alphabet). It’s a nice name though. Google seems to indicate it might be Slavic.
