How do you pronounce the Irish name Mabbina?
Do you know where the name come from?
How do you pronounce the Irish name Mabbina?
Well, Mab is the usual Irish name and it would be spelled Maeb or sometimes Maeve (because in Irish it would be spelled with a dot over the b, causing aspiration of the letter -- it would be changed to pronounce it like a v in most dialects). She was a great Irish queen of long ago. It can be pronounced MAWB or MOB, but the correct pronunciation is more like Mehv or MEEVE. The -bina part is unusual and probably derived from Latin "Sabina" or similar names. I have heard that pronounced to rhyme with Tina and also with vagina. So to put it all together, you can pronounce it however the person wants. I would go with Mehv- EYE- nah as the top choice, followed by Maw-BEE-nah, and maybe MAB-in-ah as a third pick. The name-books say it means happiness in Irish. Not really, but who's gonna dispute it?

Is Michael an irish name? Does it have to be micheal to be considered irish?
My sons middle name is michael. I intended it to be irish as well as just like his dads. 2 years later i discover that my husbands birth certificate says micheal. everything in recent history has michael on it. this includes his military papers, the motgage, our marrage certificate and our sons birth certificate. am i just makeing a big deal out of nothing or what? i should mention that i dislike my mother in law so that would be the only person who points out the birth certificate thing. my own husband didn't even know until he needed his birth certificate. yes i know he probably needed it to get into the service. i guess he didn't notice or didn't tell me. I am a little upset but on the other hand everyone I know spells Michael with ae not ea. What does everyone else think?
Is Michael an irish name? Does it have to be micheal to be considered irish?
In Irish the name Michael is spelt M铆che谩l and is pronounced mee-hall. No matter what language it is spelt in, it is still the same name so you shouldn't worry about it too much.
Reply:My grandson's is spelled Mikel. I know many people today who deliberately choose alternate spellings for the purpose of being distinctive.
If you hang out here for any length of time, you'll hear us point out that names DO NOT HAVE proven nationalities or origins, and what you consider it to "be" is only your own personal custorm or preference. The only time spelling might really matter is if someone compares his id to the birth certificate, or if you are using a search engine like google (and even google is programmed to say "do you mean %26lt;fill in the blank%26gt;.
Mothers in law- I have the world's BEST mother in law, and my daughter's mother in law might go down in history as the worst. But that probably works best in family and relationships section.

What do you think of the Irish name Fallon for a little girl?
Not preggy or planning on using this name, i just saw it skimming thru a baby name book - trying to help my friend with a middle name for her little girl she is expecting. I thought it was unusual and cute... Your thoughts?
What do you think of the Irish name Fallon for a little girl?
that is my name.... and i love it very much :o)
she will love it as well once she gets older :o)
Reply:I like it, but it needs to be paired with a feminine middle or first name. I was considering this, but someone on here pointed out that she might get "fall on". I wouldn't let that deter you from using the name, though.
By the way, your baby name book is wrong, Fallon is from an Irish surname originally derived from Ó Fallamhain, which meant "descendant of leader".
Reply:Um, it's okay, but I had a friend who was named Fallon Utterback and she was a trouble-maker and had to initial something and got into MORE trouble for writing her initials... yeah, but that's just my personal impression of the name. True story. It's cute, just be careful with the last name. o_O
Reply:I really like it, to be honest.
It's hardly ever used, but isn't something that would be constantly misspelled, either. And it's heard-of enough that people wouldn't stare blankly at her when she said her name.
It's quite a pretty name.

Reply:I wet myself when I say it out loud. Sounds like "felon" which I would expect most of you Fallon lovers would know the meaning of. It's not used on girls in Ireland.
Sounds like it would belong to a strapping bloke.
Reply:Honestly, I don't like it. It sounds really masculine to me.
By the way, like someone else said, Fallon is a surname in Ireland and is not used as a first name.
Reply:what does it mean?? I automatically think of "phallic" as in a "phallic symbol"...or Jimmy Fallon....
Reply:It's very very nice! Emily Fallon!
Reply:Jimmy Fallon, but he'll probably be old news by the time your daughter is old enough to be teased about it.

Reply:I looked it up, it should sound like Ken iss, the 2nd n is silent.
Reply:Kennis is a beautiful name, literally, the meaning of it is "beautiful."
It is pronounced exactly how it looks. The link has a pronunciation guide that will help you see the Irish names that are pronounced differently in Irish than we would read in English.
I hope it helps!
Reply:Technically, the Irish names that aren't pronounced "how they look" to anyone not familiar with Irish Gaelic are just that -- traditional Gaelic forms. Kennis, on the other hand, just appears to be an Anglicization of Canice, a variation of Coinneach meaning "handsome/attractive; pleasant." Actually, the same root as the Anglicization Kenneth. ;)
And yes, Canice is basically said KEN-iss (or technically, KAN-iss, for the original form), so KEN-iss would seem correct here. Most Anglicized spellings exist to make the pronunciation clearer -- Angus rather than Aonghus, for example -- so you usually needn't worry about mispronouncing them. ;) You can hear Canice/Kennis said here, by the way: http://www.babynamesofireland.com/pages/...

Irish Name?
I was wondering how to translate my name into Gaelic. Anyone know?
Irish Name?
Donnflaith is correct about Marie / M谩ire. Also, the great Irish genealogist Edward MacLysaght points out that "the majority of Lindsays in Ireland descend from the great Scottish clan of that name; but in Ulster 脫 Loingsigh, elsewhere anglicized as Lynch, has often been made Lynchey and this in turn became Lindsay."
So if your people are from Ulster of Irish rather than Scottish descent, then you have a good, legitimate reason to use 脫 Loingsigh as a translation back into Irish.
However, 脫 means 'grandson', so in your case the name would be N铆 Loingsigh which means 'grand-daughter of Loingseach. Loingseach is an old warrior name which means 'of ships' or 'related to ships.'' In other words, Loingseach is an old warrior name for someone who dealt a lot with ships or fleets of ships. A sea-warrior.
Putting these together, you would wind up as M谩ire N铆 Loingsigh Rodriguez if you claim descent from a family named Lindsay, or simply M谩ire Loingseach Rodriguez if Lindsay is not actually an ancestral surname.
Also, don't forget that Irish is a Q-Celtic language. The Celti-Iberians spoke Q-Celtic. At 300BC, Irish and Celti-Iberian were identical. Spanish is an overlay of Visigothic German on Latin on Celti-Iberian.
Lastly, if you want to learn Irish, you'll be welcome at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/philo-celt... .
Reply:rodriguez ir not an Irish surname so it would not be translated into Irish. Sorry. Lindsay might be able to be translated but I don't think so. Marie in Irish is M谩ire which is pronounced My-ra or Moy-re depending where you are in Ireland. Sorry I couldn't help more.
