Irish translation of my name
Could my name be translated into Irish? If so, what would it be? And how would you pronounce it? I know Johnston is scottish in origin and I know many Johnstons moved to Ireland at some point, did any of them change their name to Irish? Also I don't know the Irish version of Steven. My middle name is James, do you have middle names in Irish names?

I am a Primary School teacher in Ireland and we have to translate all names to Irish for use in the attendance book according to legal requirements. I can't translate the Johnston of the top of my head, but John translates to Séan or Shaun if that brings you closer to it, but I'd say it would have changes a good bit once adopted in Irish. Hope that helps.

February 6, 2009 07:49AM
@ Frank: The Irish for Francis is Proinsias.
@ Ben: There is no Irish equivalent of your first name. Macnamara is "Mac Conmara".
@ Olivia: Bannon = Ní Bhanáin (Uí Bhanáin if it's your husband's surname).
@ Jacob: Maybe Iacób but it would be very rare, probably only used in Irish translations of the bible.
@ Rebecca: There is no Irish version of Rebecca.
@ Colton/Jared: Unforunately not every name can be 'translated' into Irish; Colton and Jared have no equivalent.
@ Sarah Cooper: Sorcha = Sarah. I'm pretty sure Cooper is not an Irish surname.
@ AnnetteMarie Rooney: áine máire ní ruanaidh (ní if its your own name, uí if it's your husband's).
@ Mícheál: As far as I know, Furlong is not an English translation of an Irish name but is a Norman name. I have seen Irish translations but these would actually be bastardisations of the original name.
@ Paul McGrath: Pól Mac Craith
@ Ellen Black: Eíbhlín. There are some Irish surnames that mean black, but the surname Black is not a direct equivalent.
@ Bryna McCool: Nic Chumhaill if it's your own surname, Mhic Chumhaill if it's your husband's.
@ Claire McLoughlin: Clár Nic Lochlainn
@ Nicole: I think McMillan is Scottish. There's no real version of Nicole in Irish, but you could use a diminutive of Nioclás, so it'd be something like Niocláisín.
@ Briana: In Irish the male version of Brian is Briain. Briana is a modern invention so it doesn't have an Irish equivalent. You could use Briainín or Brianán maybe (see above).
@ Shelby: Shelby doesn't have an Irish equivalent.
@ Casey: In Ireland, Casey is a surname. In Irish it is Ó Cathasaigh.
@ Becky: There is no Irish equivalent.
@ Shannon: The Shannon is a river and is called An tSionainn, so I suppose you could use Sionainn.
@ Ryan: Ryan is a surname, Ó Riain. Rebecca has no equivalent.
@ Ben Peace: There is no Irish version of this name. There is an Irish surname derived from the Irish word for peace, but it is 'translated' as Sheehan, not Peace.
@ Kristy: No equivalent.
@ Jack: Seán Criostóir Ó Meachair.
@ Colin Heeley: Cóilín Ó hEalaigh is probably right.
@ Darryl Flynn: There is no Irish for Darryl. Flynn is Ó Floinn.
@ Jack: Seán
@ Stormy: Stoirmiúil
@ Joshua Coughlan: Joshua has no Irish equivalent. Coughlan is Ó Cochláin.
@ Ivan: Seeing as it's the Slavic equivalent of John, the nearest might be the Irish version - Seán or Eoin. Eoin's probably closer in sound.
@ Colin: Byrne = Ó Broin, Healy = Ó hÉilidhe/Ó hÉalaighthe/Ó hEalaigh
@ Jasmin: There is no Irish equivalent.
@ Dean Colley: Bit of a long shot, but Colley could be related to McCullough which is Mac Cú Uladh in Irish.
@ Ben: There is no Irish equivalent of your first name. Macnamara is "Mac Conmara".
@ Olivia: Bannon = Ní Bhanáin (Uí Bhanáin if it's your husband's surname).
@ Jacob: Maybe Iacób but it would be very rare, probably only used in Irish translations of the bible.
@ Rebecca: There is no Irish version of Rebecca.

Claire is Clár
Phoenix translates to Fionnuisce which means clear water.
Maria and Mary translate to Máire. Pronounced as 'Mawrah' often anglicised to 'Maura'.
Karen doesn't translate
Nicole doesn't translate
I've never seen the name 'Carragh' before, it does look like a derivative of Cara. It also reminds be of Carraig meaning rock.

Sheena is a transliteration of a Scottish Gaelic name, Sìne, which I think is the Scots Gaelic form of Jane, if I'm not mistaken. You could write it Síne to make it more Irish (grave accent).
Lagan can be a form of the Scots name Logan or of McLagan, in which case it would be spelt (in Irish) as Mac Giolla Adhagáin. The female form would be Nic Giolla Adhagáin. I think. I'm no authority.
Paul Gilmartin could be Pól Mac Giolla Máirtín. or Pól Mac Giolla Mhártain.
Maeve Heneghan would be Méabh Ní hEidhneacháin or Meadhbh Ní hEidhneacháin. Meadhbh is the older form of the name, which was originally written Medb in Old Irish.
"mh" in Irish can be pronounced as "v" or "w" as in English, or it can be a blank... it usually nasalises vowels as well...
that is all for now... i'll try to add more later. Pete

to Amy Fitzsimmon: your surname is Nic Síomóin, the female form. The male form would be Mac Síomóin. I'm not sure what the Irish form of Amy is, perhaps Aime? I doubt there is an organic Irish form of the name. I know that Amy comes from French Aimée, which means "loved"... I think the Irish masculine name Caoimhín or Caoimhghin means the same thing. I don't know if there is a feminine equivalent.
to Fiona Savage: your name would be Fiona Ní Shabháin, or Fiona Ní Sabháin, depending on dialect, I think... where is Father Dineen when we need him...
to Elvis Begley: your surname would be Ó Beaglaoich. There was a St Elvis who was Irish, I'm not sure what the Irish language form of his name would be...
more when I have more time

Hi, I am Irish, my name is Clár Ni hAimheargain. I married an American man, his name is Nathaniel
Wheatley. I only ever met one person in Eire with the surname Wheatley and she was Protestant so I never asked her if there was an Irish translation for Wheatley.. What do you think, is there one? I doubt there's anything for Nathaniel, but it would be brilliant if there was something.. -maybe we could recycle his name for the next generation if there was an Irish version I think that you are great for helping all these people with the translations of their names, it would be difficult for them to research otherwise. Good Karma coming your way. Go raibh mile maith agat!!

Johnston = neighborhood or "town of John" . I saw such a neighborhood in Cork, I believe. The name, however wasn't translated on the streetsign- just "Johnston".
However, could it possibly be Baile Shéan ? or a bit Anglicized as Ballyhawn?

Seeing as it is the end of Seachtain na Gaeilge and I need some kharma,,,,
Seems to be a great facination with 'translating' names into Irish. What you have to remember is that Irish names are intrinsic... for example the name Áine is often anglecised to Anne but actually it has been shown to be a much older name than the Hebrew version and was just linked because they sounded similar. In reality it means radiance or spark of life and she was a pagan godess (she was also known to be the Queen of the Fairies of Munster, but that's up to you ;o) )
So for some of you there may be names that are similar or have been linked for phonetic reasons but mostly what will happen is that the name should be broken down and then translated. So for example Jodie your name is of Hebrew origin and means from Judea or Jewish,,, therefore the Irish word (or focal as gaeilge) would be Giúdach. (Gweedoch. Karen yours again could be broken down to Ní Cnocsaor... it doesn't really work but... by the way usually phrases like that are reversed so actuall hill comes before free,, as always the Irish are backwords!
Howard your name is of old english origin and means 'noble watchman'... so in irish this could be Garda-uasal.. It doesn't exactly roll of the tongue....
Where in some cases names were Irish and then anglecised so Arlen "mcdermott" would translate to Mac Diarmuida, meaning Son of Diarmuid (you should look up the story of Diarmuid and Gráinne, it's a good one!)
Finnegan I'm not sure if you are using Finnegan as your First name or Surname.. If it's your Surname as it is used in Ireland the name is Ó Fionnagáin meaning of Fionn, a first name meaning 'Fair'.. in this regard that would be a good option if Finnegan is your first name? The legend of Fionn is a good read.
Patricia, that's a whole lotta Irish names in a row! Páidrigín Ó Neill - Ó Meachair. (Pawdrigeen Oh Neill - Oh Mackeir)
Kevin your first name is very much Irish and was Caoimhín (Kweeveen) and then 'englished' up. Check out St. Kevin of Glendalough, it's one of the most beautiful places in Leinster. Your surname is also Irish - Ó Maolmhuaidh (Oh Mweal..vweigh)... can mean of the noble or of the big and soft guy - I'll let you pick one.
Again, Orlaith your name is already Irish (although it can be also be spelt Órla) and means Golden Queen
) Your surname seems to be a variation of Devaney which was originally Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Duibheannaigh ‘descendant of Duibheannach’ (That would be pronounced as Oh Duv-knock). Not sure where Duibheannaigh comes in but Dubh = Black and Eanach = Marsh. It's an Ulster name, originating in Armagh.
Trent your surname is the anglicised form of the Irish surname Ó Maolruanaidh (Oh Mwealroonah) ‘descendant of Maolruanaidh’, a personal name meaning ‘devotee of (Saint) Ruanaidh'. Your first name is of Latin origin and means 'Rushing Waters' (river Trent in England) Uisce-deifir would be the only thing I can come up with in that case... Uisce (ishka) is the Irish for water and deifer (deafer) is to rush...
Rosemary = would become double barrel Rós-Muire or Rós-Máire
Tanya Mc Brearty - Tanya your surname seems to be Scottish so maybe a Scots Gaelic rather than an 'As Gaeilge' forum would be better? The same goes for you, Carrie-Ann it I would presume your family comes from Moray in Scotland... But regardless of the surname the rules are the same
Ní is for a single woman or woman using her maiden name (i.e. Miss - it is for iníon which means daughter.. so Ní Chonnaill really means daughter of Connaill. The anglicised version would be O'Connell)
Uí is for a married woman (i.e. Mrs. - it is short for Bean Uí meaning "woman of" (S)... so Uí Chonnaill means woman of Connaill, but really wife of Chonnaill)
For most male names the surname would be preceeded by Ó so O'Connell would become Ó Chonnaill
The exception to the above is where surnames are Mc's or Mac's.
Not sure if everyone with this name is aware but, Mac is the irish word for son (Mc just being a shortened anglicised version) so for the males it stays the same but for the females it becomes Nic - going back to iníon, being the Irish for daughter.

Well J by everyone has to have their name 'translated' to irish for primary school records, My sister had to recently translate Abdul Kumwattee into Irish.... the results were..em... interesting. Where the name was not previously Irish they get the meaning of the name and then translate that meaning into Irish or link them to old Irish names which are phonetically similar.... In your case Ó Eiremhóin could have been linked to Irvin (for phonetic reasons).. otherwise maybe your teacher could have figured out the Scots Gaelic for the town Irvin and used that?
Andrew your name would be Andriú Ó Broin. Easy)
Well the meaning of your name breaks down to Ash Tree Meadow - Roosters Stream,,, which sounds more like an native indian name,,,, móinéar -Meadow Fuinseog - Ash Tree sruth - Stream coileach - Rooster (in Irish the words go 'backwords' (lunch box = bosca lón) so if you want to mesh a few of those together you could come up with something. If you want your name just spelt as it sounds it would be Aislaí Cóbeirn (?) I think that could work for you!

I was born in Dublin, I moved to Australia when I was young and all my life, in school and Uni I've been called Josh or Joshua.
So i would say Oisín is alright for a translation for Joshua.
The actual translation for Joshua (from Yahushua) in Irish is actually Íosa, but that literally means Jesus.
Me personally, I prefer to go by Joshua as Oisín rather than walking around saying im Jesus.. ha!
Hope I helped
