Names Ending in G for Girls

  1. Peig

    • Description:

      Peig is a traditional Irish feminine name, functioning as a diminutive form of Margaret. The name Margaret itself derives from Greek 'margarites' meaning 'pearl'. Peig gained notability in Ireland through the famous Irish language author Peig Sayers (1873-1958), whose autobiography became required reading in Irish schools. The name is pronounced somewhat like 'peg' but with a slightly softer sound in traditional Irish pronunciation. Despite its historical significance in Ireland, Peig remains quite uncommon, even within Ireland itself, having declined in usage since the mid-20th century. The name carries associations with traditional Irish heritage, resilience, and the preservation of Gaelic culture. Its short, distinctive sound contrasts with the trend toward longer, more elaborate names, giving it a simple, straightforward charm.
