Irish Names and Surnames - Softcover

From the Publisher

"Sloinnte Gaedeal is Gall". Students of Irish History and of Irish Families need no introduction to this work. Often quoted from and cited by modern day experts, this volume is a classic reference source. For too long this book has been inaccessible, available only from used book dealers or in a few libraries scattered across the nation. Not only are Irish families covered here, there is as well an English-Irish dictionary of Names for Men and Women - from whence many base Irish names for children in the modern day. The Irish naming system and clan names are covered as well, and for those wishing to delve further, some of the basics of the gaelic language are given in reference to the same. This important work, out of print too long, is once again available to you. Voted the most desired book to be republished by members of the Irish Family Journal, now is your chance to support the appearance of this volume in modern times. For the first time, we have added a surname index, including some 12,000 Irish Family Names, making this edition the best of all.
