Being a branch of Irish, Gaelic is one of the top three languages spoken in Ireland today. Gaelic baby names, spread across the beautiful British Isles, have a timeless, magical, and musical feel to them, which explains their position at the top of name lists. These names have their origin in Gaels or Goidels, an ethnolinguistic group dominating in the Scottish Highlands, Ireland, and the Isle of Man. A typical Gaelic name consists of a given name and a surname. These names are often nativized, which means made to fit the Gaelic sound system. The surnames are patronymic, which means they refer to the ancestor of a family. Also, the surname varies according to the bearer’s gender.
