Irish baby names have gone through significant changes over the course of history
Ireland is one of the richest countries when it comes to history. Its long and legendary history is something about which other countries can only read and admire. The rich lineage of heritage which has been observed in Irish history is truly astonishing. An important part of this is the Irish names.
In Irish Baby Names, you easily see the influence of its adjoining areas like Scotland, Wales and England. Celtic and Gaelic names deserve a special mention here as a significant chunk of Irish Baby Names belong to these two categories. Actually such has been the influence of these two categories, today when you speak of Irish Baby Names you always consider a subset containing names under Celtic, Gaelic and Irish origin.
One distinguishing feature of Irish Baby Names is that none of them are made from a collection of letters that sound cue or beautiful to us. Every Irish Baby Name has a special meaning, mostly historic, attached with it. A simple example is the name Donnacha which has the meaning ‘dark haired warrior’. Now this name Donnacha actually has been derived from two Gaelic names which are ‘donn’ meaning ‘brown’ and ‘cath’ meaning ‘battle’. But despite having such beautiful meanings to them, most of the names today are known to many without any knowledge of their actual meaning.
Another important feature of Irish names is that they have become anglicized over the length of history. This feature can be easily shown in the popular name ‘Kevin’. This name comes from the Gaelic name ‘Caoimhin’. The feminine version of this name is ‘Caoimhe’.
Today, many of the ancient Irish names are again being used to name new-born babies. Names like Niamh meaning beautiful and Cian meaning ancient are being associated with many people. And this spread of Irish names is not only occurring in European countries but in countries all over the globe. But this was not the scenario earlier. There came a time in history when Irish names were outlawed. The constant battles between the English Protestant and the Catholic churches led to the disappearance of many Gaelic names. But today, it is this history associated with these names that is making them even more popular.
But did you notice that in the entire write-up till now, we have only discussed Irish Boy Names? You must be dying to find out more about Irish Baby Girl Names right? Irish Girl Names are very popular in the US today. Again here, the popularity of Irish Girl Names is on an increase due to beautiful meaning attached to these names. This can be justified by some nice Irish Girl Names mentioned below:-
- Briana means strong, virtuous and honorable.
- Shannon means small and wise
- Ashlyn means a vision and dream
What’s more, these are the names of some very popular Hollywood actresses! So if you are expecting a girl child, why not give your baby an Irish Girl Name?
As you must have deciphered from the article, Irish Names are catching the eye of everyone and it is always to name your child with a name that is culturally as well as historically rich.

Gaelic Type $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The term Gaelic type, a translation of the Irish phrase cl Gaelach, refers to a family of insular typefaces devised for writing Irish and used between the 16th and 20th centuries. Sometimes, all Gaelic typefaces are called Celtic or uncial, though most Gaelic types are not uncials. In Ireland the term cl Gaelach is used in opposition to the term cl Rmhnach, in English Roman type. Gaelic type is sometimes called Irish type. The AngloSaxon types of the 17th century are included in this category because both the AngloSaxon types and the Gaelic/Irish types derive from the Insular manuscript hand. Many modern Gaelic typefaces include Gaelic letterforms for the letters j, k, q, v, w, x, y, and z, and typically provide support for at least the vowels of the other Celtic languages.

Irish Literature: Volume X (Gaelic Authors) $44.19 This collection contains in ten volumes representative selections from the works of Irish writers, ancient and modern, in prose and in verse. The works of three hundred and fifty Irish authors are represented, and this collection is a guide, philosopher, and friend to conduct the reader through the wide fields of Irish literary lore. Originally published in 1904, Irish Literature gave to the world a comprehensive glance at the whole development of literary art in prose and poetry from the beginning of Irelands history. Even literary experts are hardly aware how many of the bright particular stars which stud the firmament of English literature are Irishmen. From the vast storehouses of Irish literature they have extracted the choicest of its treasures the mythology, legends, fables, folk lore, poetry, essays, oratory, history, annals, science, memoirs, anecdotes, fiction, travel, drama, wit and humor, and pathos of the Irish race are all represented. This library, therefore, focuses the whole intellectuality of the Irish people. It not only presents a view of the literary history of Ireland, but it gives also a series of historic pictures of the social development of the people, for literature is the mirror in which the life and movements of historic periods are reflected.
