I am an Irish speaker and Cameron could have started with his own name which is a compound word CAM=crooked (Kam) Srón=nose (Shron) . A rule of grammar puts an H after the S and silences the S in the combination creating Camshrón= (Kam Rown) Crooked Nose, so the first Cameron had a crooked nose. It may be more common in Scotland. Regarding Eoin, it is also the form of John referring to the Apostle. Seán also means John but is borrowed in from the French Jean (Zahn). Mike or Maidhc=Mike

@@camandkadie The root words are the same in both Irish and Scottish Gaelic, with same meaning. It just so happens that Cameron is a more common name in Scotland; as is the name Campbell whose root is Cam (Crooked) Gàidhlig=Beul (mouth) Gaeilge=Béal, (Mouth) referring to a person who is a smooth talker. A Scottish friend, one told me, there is a saying in Scotland "Never Trust a Campbell" obviously for said reason. As Cameron may know the Irish last name Sullivan? originates from the Irish Suile (Eye) Sueal Amháin (one, in reference to counting things) Ah Wooyn The first Sullivan apparently had only one eye. Also, Katlyn. Caitlyn etc. originally is Cáitlín, (Kawchleen) meaning youngish Cáit which I am also sure Cameron may be aware of.

'Emerging from Celtic mythos, Elva is a feminine name of Irish origin. Meaning "white" or "bright," Elva is a variation of the name Ailbhe which itself derives from the Old Irish word albho of the same meaning. There are many who interpret Elva as an elfin leader, tracing the title back to the Anglo-Saxon aelf, which means 'elf.' In truth, Elva is far more fierce and formidable with strong ties to the ancient Irish warrior, Ailbhe Gruadbrecc. One of the fearless female members of the legendary Fianna, known as the banféinní, Ailbhe is thought to have been a great love of Fionn mac Cumall. Known for her freckled complexion, there is little doubt that Elva's meaning is an homage to this fair-skinned warrior'.

The discussion still arises, but everyday usage by the young is about even and the 'class' distinction forgotten.

Its Seán not Sean. It is a Gaelicised form of John. Niamh means 'radiant'

Ciara is Irish and means 'dark'. The modern English spelling is Kiera.

I see many of these things on KZbin and they are usually 80% wrong. So lets see.... 1. Conchúr is not Kruhore as this guy says...it is Kruhoor. The standard spelling is Conchubhar. 2. Conchúr does not mean lover of wolves...it means wolf helper/helper of wolves. 3. No Eoghan is not pronounced Owen...well yes it is by Irish people but they get it wrong. Firstly, 'Eo' at the start of a word has a 'y' sound. Secondly the 'o' is short and not long. It should be pronounced as Yoh-un (minus the 'h'). The 'o' is like the 'o' in bomb. 4. NO. You said Eoin is an English form. This guy hasnt a clue. Firstly, Eoin is spelt Eóin and is native Irish and should be pronounced as Yoe-un. Eoghan is pronounced short while Eóin is pronounced long. 5. No, Eoghan does not mean young fighter. It derives from eo 'yew tree'. Eóin is a Gaelicised form of John. 6. Seosamh is not pronounced Show-suv...it is Shoh-suv (a short 'o'). Like Eoghan, the 'o' is short not long. 7. NO NO NO. It is pronounced with a soft 'd' and not a hard 'd'. The other pronunciation you mention also has a variant spelling Pádhraig. You CANNOT pronounce Padraig as Pawrick. 8. Oh dear St Patrick's Day is not Lá Fhéile Padraig (law eylla pawdraig) it is Lá Fheile Phádraig (law eylla Fawrdig). Did this guy attend any grammar classes in Irish? 9. I think this is gonna be a long one! Patrick/Pádraig does not mean a 'born leader' it means the 'Patrician'. 10. HOORAY! Correctimundo!. Should add though that Ossian is used as an English version. 11. Oh dear back to the mistakes. Labhaoise is NOT pronounced as Leesha. It is Laweesha and is Louisa in English. Why do you think the 'bh' is there? Leesha, as a name is from Laoise....a different name. 12. HOORAY. But the English form does exist and it is....wait for it.....Alva. 13. Now back to the mistakes. It is spelt Mairéad and NOT Máiréad. 14. You almost got a cigar. It is not pronounced Eevin or Aiveen but Eeving. The double 'n' at the end of a word has an 'ng' sound. 15. Pronounce correctly but it does NOT mean 'the sun'.....although the meaning is not 100% known, it means either 'grain' (from grán) or 'ugly' (from gránna). Thanks for the apology at the end for names being butchered...sadly though the guy and his "Irish" versions were also guilty of butchering. Finally, people think Irish names are hard to pronounce...well they are not as Irish is phonetic unlike English...you just need to know how the letters and letter combinations are pronounced.....then you can pronounced almost any Irish word. The final reason why people think Irish names are difficult is because so many people, like this guy, pronounce them wrong to start with. THERE IS NO HOPE.

A name cannot be both common and unique.
@camandkadie2 жыл бұрын
Unique: belonging or connected to (one particular person, place, or thing). There are names that are unique to Ireland that are not common anywhere else in the world.

Please don't refer to me Irish language as Gaelic. It is gaeilge in Irish
@cooldaddy28777 ай бұрын
For a thousand years it was called Gaelic in English. Only in the last hundred years or so has it been called "Irish" to distinguish it from the Scottish variant....so Gaelic is correct.
@michaelmccarthy94117 ай бұрын
@@cooldaddy2877 That's completely wrong. Maybe the English incorrectly called the language Gaelic, but it certainly wasn't for over a thousand years. Please allow us the right to know what to call our own language, even if the English did their best to wipe it out, along with our religion and most of our people!
