Irish Baby Names

Irish names come from the Gaelic language of Ireland and reflect its poetry, history and landscape. Many describe bright, brave or beautiful qualities, and many recall ancient kings, saints and heroes.
Spellings in English can differ from the Irish originals, so the same name may appear in more than one form. Pronunciation is sometimes surprising, so say a name aloud before you fall for it.
