MY FAVE NAMES THAT ARE IRISH!

I am Irish and I love Irish names. I am most likely to use all these names. I am aware that there are more girl names than boys, but I will continue to add to this list!
  1. Michael
    • Origin:

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "who is like God?"
    • Description:

      Michael was the Number 1 American boys' name for almost half a century. While Michael has moved out of the Top 10 baby boy names, it's still widely used.
  2. Damien
    • Origin:

      French from Greek
    • Meaning:

      "to tame, subdue"
    • Description:

      Converting Damian to Damien – or Julian to Julien or Lucian to Lucien – adds a certain je ne sais quoi to names. But most people in English speaking areas will still pronounce this the same as the -an ending form. The French pronunciation is more like "dah-mee-u(n)".
  3. Padraig
    • Origin:

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "patrician, noble"
    • Description:

      Parents of Irish heritage are increasingly looking for more authentic Gaelic names, and this is a native spin on Patrick. Pronunciation will be confusing for many Americans, though: It's POR-rick. Golf champ Padraig Harrington has brought it into the sports spotlight.
  4. Shauna
    • Origin:

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "God is gracious"
    • Description:

      More modern options: Shaw, Shay, or even Sean.
  5. Beibhinn
    • Origin:

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "white or fair lady"
    • Description:

      An important name in Irish myth, belonging to a beautiful giantess who was both mother and wife of Brian Boru. It is usually Anglicized as the phonetic Bevin, but also as Vivian.
  6. Blaithin
    • Cathriona
      • Moncha
