Irish Translation Of English Names In Our Family

As a researcher of family history, I have an interest in the names that were chosen for some members of my family, their origin and what they meant. In this post, there will be a discussion about some of the English names we use today in our family with the Irish translation. If your name is not here and you want its translation and meaning, leave me a comment and I will research it. However, there are some names that have no Irish translation. For instance, my son's name "Joshua" has no Irish translation what-so-ever probably because no one in Ireland ever called their child by this name.

I will give each name their English version followed by their Irish version, where it originated from and its meaning.
