Hello my beautiful in the names that you mentioned you have pronounced many letters in Arabic which have the same pronunciation in English and in Arabic
@R C I must have been wrong on the recipient thank you for answering me thank you
I'm liking Turlough
All of these names are beautiful I would use them for girls names I'm in America they say I'm beautiful
Hi! 😊
Thank you for sharing your videos! You might be interested to hear that I have Irish roots...I know...a little biased, right? lol haha 😄 But it helps a lot with the pronunciation because the Gaelic language is a fit sometimes! 😊😄😘❤️
My boys are Tadhg and Peadar. My daughter is Soedīn. My dog is Finnian. My husband is Daithí. And I'm Grainne. I love our names and I love our country..
Those are all beautiful names!
My father named me Kevin Patrick Armstrong. My Grandfather (who came to America from Ireland when he was 5)
never called me Kevin.....he called me Padrag.
My son is Finnian
I love the names too
You and your family have such beautiful names!
Eoghan Wilson: Oughaowghg
Owen Wilson: Wow
😂
😂 best comment
My name is Owen and I'm constantly having the piss taken out me for not spelling it Eoin or Eoghan
😂😂😂👌🏼
I know the anglicized spelling OWEN the best 🙂
English people "Did you know the name 'Featherstonhaugh' is pronounced 'Fanshaw'"? Irish people "Hold my Guinness..."
😂
English trad names have some.v weird spellings
@@CarolineMartin these aren't English... They're irish
Am an African woman but i can tell when i see a gorgeous white lady you look great my daughter is called Siobhan i love it very rare here in Kenya and i named her after watching your irish gals videos but my husband was saying its difficult although he loves the name. thanks
I prefer stop with assimilation and give african name !
European never give african name to their child 🤣
That's your choice !
Oh my gosh, this is amazing!! I love the name Siobhan, it's so beautiful. And I love that there's a little baby Siobhan in Kenya! 💗💗💗
@@WolfeMomma Thanks alot
@@marlene97280 But she has a African middle name, here we don't care what others say about your choice of name whether African or European a name is a Name as long as you love the name that's what matters the rest doesn't.
@@marlene97280 if we would ever DARE to do such a thing... cultural appropriation was it?
Funny story about Oisín, I was sub teaching in a kindergarten class and I was doing attendance and I came across the name and knew how to pronounce it because I watched another video about Irish names. Long story short the little kid was so happy I pronounced it correctly.
I can tell ya we Irish love when Americans pronounce our names correctly! My name is Pól, my brothers name is Caolin, and sisters name is Aisling… since moving to America 13 years ago, we’ve come across very few people who pronounce them correctly
@PolReilly, that's why I watch videos like this. You never know what you'll need to say.
I want you to teach me Irish legends and tales and history. I'm so passionate about it. For sure my kids will have Irish names. Thank you for this video
Oh I love that idea! Definitely gonna do a video on that. Thanks! 💗
@@WolfeMomma oh great I can't wait to watch it! Thank you so much ❤️
@@WolfeMomma this would be fabulous!!!!
Yes! Story time (for grown ups)!
You are so good at teaching the pronunciation of Irish names! You should make a video teaching Irish words and phrases!
Thank you! That's a great idea, I'll try do one of those videos in the next couple weeks :) 💗
@@WolfeMomma Yes, please!
Hey, good news coz in the future she does!
@@WolfeMomma im irish !
she is not good at all at pronunciation! i am scottish and i speak gaelic pronounced "gaaaaalic". the origins are EXACTLY the same as irish gaaaalic' the real spelling is GAIDHLIG with a grave accent on the a. i dont think the irish use a grave accent any more. it slants like this \ . i believe irish use the acute accent which is this /.ive never heard of it called"fodder" till now. please dont pronounce the beautiful forever Gaidhlig language in the english way. english is english and gaidhlig is gaidhlig. please do not pronounce "LOCH" as in "LOCHLANN" , "LOCK". it is GUTTERAL. needs practice. no offence to anybody but it is quite heartbreaking that the quality of the language is getting lost. we call this quality "blas" as all gaidhlig or irish native speakers know.
I seriously love this! My boys are half Navajo (I'm full blooded - USA Native American Tribe) and their dad is American with Irish ancestry. My oldest is Owen Náálzhééhí (the one who hunts, in Navajo language) and my youngest is Patrick O. My youngest doesn't have a middle name just an initial because he's a third. I want to give him an unofficial middle name. I love Oisín, Little Deer because in my tribe we have clans and our clan is Bííhbitóó'ní,which translates to Deer Water. ❤️
I have a son called Oisin and love the fact that you are still very much in touch with your native language and heritage
Jesus did your husband go and search out the only people on earth that got screwed over more than us.
What awesome names you've chosen for your children! I recently had a DNA test and found out I am part Native American, which for someone who grew up in Europe with mostly Irish ancestry came as quite a surprise. I am immensely proud to tell people now that I am Irish and Native American.
@@mattkinsella9856 Not to rain on your parade Matt but a lot of those DNA tests turned out to be total BS. Like identical twins getting different results and so on. There are a load of articles online you should look it up.
@@solidus784 Which is why I did another one and so has my eldest daughter. All with corresponding results.
Would you consider doing a 'least common Irish baby boy names' ? I think it would be really fun to hear some that are very uncommon.
Great idea! 😀
stephanie quinn I agree!
Some of these names would make the list! Never heard of anyone called Ultan!
Like Eannus. It's a hard one to explain.
@@brendanm4179 I think there's a city in Mongolia with that name.
I'm from the US and I've never heard that about Seamus and the police. My most favorite Seamus is in Harry Potter.
It's actually an old fashioned term for a detective. Like Raymond Chandler era. Not really modern slang.
Yeah, I have never heard that either. However, I’m from the south. They may say that up north or out west.
@@Groovyredhead I'd say most likely new England area as there was a very dense Irish population there in the 20s-50s.
I forgot about Seamus finnigsn !
YAYYY A POTTERHEAD😭💛💛
I’m Brazilian and I just came back from 8 months in Ireland. I was minding 3 kids there. Their names are Odhran, Ciarán and Réidín. At the beginning it was very difficult to get used to their names. Especially the pronunciation. But I think their names are beautiful. Irish names are amazing.
Hi Monique how are you. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 to Brazil 🇧🇷. Hope you’re safe from Covid. It’s a good video. Hope you enjoyed your time in Ireland. Best wishes for a lovely day and stay safe 😊🙏🇧🇷 Michael
America: Owen
Ireland: Eoghan
Owen/Owain is actually the Welsh spelling, not specifically American.
I think Owen is Welsh and Eoin is English?
Lottie Erin
Eoin is definitely Irish...
@@dunneincrewgear It's also Scots Gaelic.
Does that count the Scots Ewan?
My black cat name is Ciaran and I swear I didn’t know it means the little dark one it’s really fitting name 😂😂😂
My name is Kiara and now I know why when I look for its meaning little dark one comes up!
@@supersweetchick14sup my name used to be Kyara before I came out as trans and changed it to Alex. I wish I saw this videp before I could have chosen a more beautiful name.
This was so fascinating! Thank you!!
I feel so much respect for all the irish starbucks baristas :D loved these videos xx
Why? Irish names wouldn't be strange in Ireland.
🤣🤣🤣 I can imagine myself as drawing a legendary figures or fairy tales rather than names on the the paper cups
@@derrilldoyle5651 might be. Traditional spellings are just gaining popularity, my older Irish friends are spelled Una, Dervla, Sean etc
Yay!! I was waiting for this! Thank you
The names are soooo beautiful but the Irish spelling is quite unique!
Yeah, it's because of the way the Irish language is pronounced. Like how in Polish "sz" is like "sh" to English speakers. 😊
Gaelic languages are somthing else i swear...
Thanks for both the boys’ & girls’ names videos! Your explanation of the pronunciations helped me better understand how the vowels & consonants work in Gaelic. Missed seeing Declan & Aisling but lots of interesting names & histories.
Love all of these awesome names & the stories behind each of them!❤️
You have a great way of explaining the meanings and the pronunciation of the Irish names, you do a great job girl you have a great Irish speaking voice .
I love these! So interesting - Thank you!
Thanks 💗
This was actually very entertaining to watch. Its a fun way to know a bit about another culture and let me just say I love how you introduced the video, I mean you were showing the spelling, pronunciation and even explaining what the name means and where it comes from! I really loved this so thank you.
I have no idea how your videos came across my recommended vids but I’m so glad they did. I just started reading All the Murmuring Bones by A.G. Slatter and now I know how to sound out Aoife and Óisín’s names in my head, thanks to your baby girl and baby boy names videos.
I was looking for this a few days ago so happy to see it pop up. One I love that you didn't have is eamonn, but I'm definitely in love with Irish names
I love your videos! Thanks for teaching us a little history behind each name. You are great 😘
Thank you! 💗
I've watched several CZcams videos on Irish names and yours are my favourite. I love the way you explain the meanings and pronunciations!
Thank you! 💗
Love this so much!! ❤️ love you!!!
i went to ireland to study english this summer and my favourite teacher was called Oisin. this video is bringing back so many beautiful memories, thank you so much
Take a shot everytime there's a fada.
Woah, I just commented two days ago on your girl name videos about wanting this video! Glad you finally got around to it. It was so randomly suggested to me, because I don't normally watch these videos but the algorithm knows I love accents.
F.n
…it’s so cool to hear about these names and their historical significance - I’ve read about many ancient connections between the Celts of ancient Ireland and the ancient Indians ...subcontinental names like Kiran, Siva and Thaara that are common in India although spelled differently in Gaelic have always fascinated me. Thank you for this neat video ...and your silver hair is awesome!
Having ancestors from Antrim.... this was very cool! Thank you!
Thanks a lot for teaching me valuable things to improve my English skills.
Thank you very much! The irish pronunciation is new to me and I am fascinated. Your name-videos are on point. I like it very much, that you let us know a little bit about the meaning and history. And it is very helpful, that you say every name many times and you write it down.
Thank you! 😀
As a Pádraig, I believe that a fada over the first a means you prefer Paw-drig and a fadaless Padraig means you prefer Paw-rick, at least that's what I've always thought.
Aah so that's it! Good to know, thanks! 😀
I... don't think so. As far as I know the different pronunciation developed as just a regional accent/dialect difference. But the name *can* be spelt differently based on how it's pronounced. "Pádraic" is really the easier way to spell it if it's pronounced with a "c" sound at the end (one of my co-workers spells and pronounces it this way). If you pronounce an "a" as "aw", it should really always have a fada over it in Irish. People just aren't bothered putting fadas over things, but they really should be there.
Some people will still pronounce "Pádraig" as "Pádraic/Paw-rick", but again it's an accent/regional thing, it just means that they pronounce the "g" at the end of their words much more softly and quickly and perhaps not pronouncing the "d".
Like "dearmad" (forget) in Irish. Some places it's pronounced "dahr-mud", others "darr-ood" - thereby changing the sound quite a bit, but not the spelling. There's also Caoimhe ("Keeva" vs "Kwee-va). Or "ionadh" ("oo-nah" vs "ee-nah"), which means "surprise". Accents, what can you do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@catbeara Irish is a fascinating language, to me, it gets even more fascinating when you look at the differences in regional dialect, I also think your answer is far more educated and researched, where as I completely guessed it, so I am very grateful for your knowledgeable response, thank you.
@@padraigocarroll8583 I agree, I find the differences really interesting and I've been learning more about them recently. 😊 But I wouldn't say I'm super knowledgeable, I'm not an expert or anything!
@joey dunlop wow, love it 😂
I love irish history thank u for sharing
Dia dhuit, mo Bhanrion!
Ta tu go halainn!
Go raibh maith agat!
Your lessons are deadly class!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
I needed these videos two decades ago 😭 I'm ready to rename my kids 🤣
Gretchen Moran 😂😂
U can get a new baby 🙂
I Love Irish names! If I would have had another daughter If name her Saoirse ❤
The first 4 are my favorites, especially Féilim and Tadgh!!
Well done, lovely pronunciations and good explanations.
You are the best at pronouncing these names so I can understand them.
Seamus is a name i always knew from Harry Potter 😊👌 love the historical meanings!!
I'm a new subscriber, and also Canadian. Hi! ... :)
That being said, I'm loving this series! It would be so cool if you did names that are popular based on where people originate(d) from. For example, I know that my Irish family comes from Wexford. I would love it if you did a series on popular names from specific origins. Is that even a thing?
Love your channel. I look forward to whatever you come up with, next!
That's a great idea! I'll definitely do that, thanks :)
I wish I'd seen this or heard these names before I was finished having kids! This is amazing and so educational! Thank you!
Thank you! For putting spelling and pronunciations!
I love this education!
I’m done having babies , but I write and I love this for future projects! And just from a linguistics point of view it’s very interesting to see remnants of an old language and how things were pronounced!
As in Turlough o'Carolan... really enjoyed both sets of names and appreciate knowing how to say them!
Irish isn't "an old language" it's one of the two official language of the Repulic of Ireland, with English being the other. It's one of the 24 language of the European Union and there is Irish language TV in Ireland and an Irish language version of Wikipedia online.
thank you! im american but i have massive irish family ties/heritage. I love learning about my original family heritage and ive always wanted to consider a baby name reflecting that, but i've always struggled with pronouncing irish words/ names. thank you!
I’ve noticed that there are a lot of Niall’s in Ireland. I was kind of surprised not to see it here, but I loved the names you shared. Definitely some beautiful ones.
I'm chilean living in Ireland with my Irish partner. He kept talking about a seamus and I always thought it was a nickname "shameless" until one day after a long time I asked him why they were calling him that... Omg he couldn't laugh harder 😂 and then proceeded to explain the name hahaha.
😂😂
So fun! Thank you! I have an “Asher” & a “Finn”! ❤️ blessings to u
@5:30 We named our son Rory Patrick. I’m Irish-American. My Irish born co-worker smiled and said, “you didn’t use the Irish spelling?” I had an image of him having to spell his name over and Over throughout his life. All beautiful names, and I love your video.
We actually recently found out there is Irish in our family! I've always loved Irish names so now I have even more of a reason to give one of my children a good Irish name.
Visited Ireland last May, beautiful country and people! You are a perfect example! Would love more videos of Irish words or sayings. 🍀
Thank you! More on the way 😀
Renach pronounced ray a knock
Fantastic, I love the name meanings, culture and pronunciation... And even though it appears to be done in your home, your production and delivery is first-rate !
My grandfather spoke Irish but had to supress it. I'm happy to see the language thriving.
Names I'd like to hear include Cúmhaí and Síoda. Thanks for this video, it's very helpful and I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel
I'm really enjoying your videos! I'd like to suggest 2 of Brendan Gleeson's, Domhnall (he says it rhymes with tonal) and Brian (pronounced bree-in not bry-an).
I love the Children of Lyr❤ I love this video as well
Very helpful - thanks.
"Wolfe momma"......LOVE the name...great channel..... Love from an American-Irishman..God bless...🇮🇪🇺🇸
I like Féilim. Sounds nice and I appreciate that it's pretty much pronounced like it's spelt.
Awesome info.
Thanks. 👍🏼
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.
I’d be first out in the spelling bee. 😳
Hana J gorl same Irish is hard but so awesome
Me to😂
When in doubt, add a d, b, or h... 😂
@@kelly1827 gh
Hana J Lmao
I’ve always loved the name Oisín!
I love these please do more
You should do some videos on Irish history! My dad's family was traced back to the Ulster region through genealogy records (know anyone with the last name McCollum or any variant?), but when he had a DNA test done through Ancestry it came back with some Scandinavian heritage and we were completely perplexed. After hearing you talk about the Vikings intermarrying with the Irish it makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
I love how the Irish say "em" instead of "um". I'm in the States and I find "em" to be more endearing then "ummmm" LOL.
lol I never realised there was a difference before but a few people have pointed it out 😄
It's a British Isles thing, not just Ireland. It's very common in Scotland.
@@StrathpefferJunction no such thing as the British Isles. But sure Scottish people are more like us than the English!
@@FOC-xu2kw I'm not getting into a long debate over the geographical term 'British Isles', but its continual use as a descriptive term is a moot point and usage really comes down to where you're from and, to some extent, your political preferences or background; rightly or wrongly, you'll almost certainly find far more people who use the term 'British Isles' than don't. The word 'British'/'Britain' has roots that pre-date the poltical entity of Britain, just as Scandinavia, Celtic and other longstanding terms describe various peoples and places, many of which are politically independent from one another. Some Irish people (for reasons that I am not at all unsympathetic to) don't like the term British Isles, others aren't bothered. I've heard Irish citizens use it and other Irish citizens denounce it. The way that I and many others use it is as a simple descriptive geographical term, not a political, one. Debates can also be had about 'America', the English Channel and other geographic terms with baggage and complex poltical history, but this is a light hearted threat and that's for another day.
@@StrathpefferJunction well said.
My first ever boyfriend was called Feidhlimidh (Felimy) and I adored his Irish family! ❤️
Cáca Milis sa Seomra Spraoi ahh it is ❤️ he was my first love! Adored his name!
My best friends moms name is naoise! She came to New York from Ireland years ago but the accent is still strong, love it.
My brothers name is ciarán but we spell it Kieron - but he’s got 4 friends with the same name and every single one is spelt differently!!!
cait toal my brother’s named Kiran, it’s pronounced the same way, it’s also an Indian name
I have a cousin Kieran!
My families heritage is Irish and we were all given traditional Irish first and middle names, my older brother's name is Ciarán pronounced closer to Care-en.
It depends that is simply the more traditional spelling as gaeilge spelling and spelt that way because all c names in Irish are pronounced with a hard k sound as there is no k in the Gaelic alphabet and by that I mean the Scottish Gaelic doesn’t have it either .
Likely because in English, “C” followed by an “i” is a soft “S” sound, not a hard “K” sound, so to pronounce it right in an English-speaking country, swapping the C for a K makes sense.
I just watched the baby girls names, didn’t see the baby boys name in the videos to the side, thought oh Jesus, I’ll have to go find some video from eight months ago now, I go into your channel, and what do I see? “Irish baby boys names - 3 hours ago”
Patrick Steele same!
dude, same!
same!!
You are seriously the most beautiful human! I love the Irish accent, I find myself staring at your mouth as you talk lmaoo
Aw thank you! 💗
woww i Love all the names. they Sound very interesting and sophisticated😍😍👍
Hello! Sending love from America. I loved this video and the baby girls one too. I’d be interested in a video about famous King’s and queens of Ireland names.
Great idea! I'll definitely do a video on that :)
Love your videos! They are interesting and educational, as well as entertaining. Thank you! 🤗😘. PS: My late husband's family name was "Murphy." ☘️ 🇮🇪 💚
I’m of Irish descent but I’m an American. I know very little about my heritage, but I wanna know more. I really appreciate you explaining the origin of each name too. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! 😀
Glad I made the list :) nice vid
Two of my grandparents came from Germany and two came from Ireland. I watched this video, because I am interested in learning more about where my Irish grandparents came from. Been to Ireland once and hope to return.
In America, the name Seamus became a synonym for private detective many years ago (I think the 1930's). It had no connection to police, but was a slang name for a P.I.(private investigator) and I think it became popularized in cheap fiction.
I called my first adopted cat Seamus because he was constantly snooping about and getting into things he shouldn't, and because I am Scotch/Irish but had no children. If I had kids, I would have named them using names from my heritage.
I love this! Could you do Keigan? It's my son's name.
I'll definitely do Keigan in the next one! Great name :)
I'm so intrigued... I always thought I had a strong Irish name but wow... I love Tadgh too!!!
My name is Ciaran...I loved hearing you pronounce it. Not always my favorite but in my late 20s , I learned to love it. Kieran is a more popular spelling, here in Canada
Could you do a video on how to pronounce the names from the Sevenwaters series?
Love this video! I have to laugh, I live in Turlock!😂 Had no idea it was Irish!
Wow! Me to small world
I love hearing the history behind these beautiful names! I'm looking for a name for a character of mine and it would be nice if I could pronounce it. 😄
I found your girl names and now the boys. I recently picked up a book from An Irish Village Mystery series. Very helpful with the names. 😂
Your videos are Great 😊 Seamus in Scots is Seumas which in English means, James, Jacob
She is very good at delivering information.
I want to hear her telling irish lores or ancient sites stories
Thanks! I'm planning to do some of those stories soon :)
Very cool names!
Great thank you
I love the meanings of all these names... They almost resemble ancient native American names in their translation...
Lachlan(lochlann) is my favorite!!! It is on my short list!
Loved the names thsnkyou
Amazing names!
Lovely video. Many Irish names are not specifically Irish in derivation but Celtic and are variations on themes you also find in Wales, Scotland, Cornwall and the Basque regions of France and Spain. The complex spellings (to English speakers) are a modern trend as part of resurgent nationalism and the search for identity in a globalist world. Scotland and Wales are doing the same thing. In previous centuries the trend was to simplify spellings and to go for Christian names. There was no accepted spelling of ancient names because 99% of people couldn't read and communities spoke with very different accents. So Eoghan, Ian, Ewen, Owen etc. are really all the same name.
I love these names as well as the girl names from your other video. I have always been told that my ancestry was Irish. I recently took a DNA test and it came back 96% Irish and the other 4% was Norway. Therefore I especially love the name Lochlann. The Gaelic spelling of my maiden name actually means "Sea Warrior" . It doesn't resemble the angelizied version at all. The Galic spelling is McMurchadh and was the name of an infamous king from Leinster responsible for bringing the British to Ireland. The angelized spelling is Murrow.
Love the Father Ted reference ! I smell wee 😂😂😂Great video! Cheers ✌ ❤
😂that made me laugh out loud
I'm brazilian and loved those nomes!!
