Excerpt: This list of Irish-language given names shows Irish-language (Gaeilge) given names and their Anglicised forms, Latinised forms, or English-language equivalents. Some English-language names are derived from the Irish-languagefor example, Kathleen from Caitlin. Conversely, some Irish-langaugae names are derived from the English-languagefor example, Eamon from Edmund. Many Irish-language names have English-language equivalents, because both names may be derived from a common name of another language. For example, the Irish-language Maire and English-language Mary are both derived from the French language. Sometimes Irish-language names have equivalents in other languages which not etymologically related. For example Aine (a traditional Irish-language name meaning "brightness" or "radiance") is used as a form of Anne (which is ultimately from the Hebrew-language, meaning "he has favoured me with a child]..".
