Irish First NamesIn this compact guide, Ronan Coghlan provides a comprehensive dictionary of Irish first names, giving the derivation and history of each and, where appropriate, the Irish translation. Earlier names which are no longer in use but which are of historical interest are also given, as is advice to parents about choosing a name. However, since naming patterns reflect a country's past, this book will appeal not only to parents but to anyone with a general interest in Ireland and its history.
