What is the Irish equivalent to the name Robert?
Robert is spelt Roibeard or sometimes with an accent on the 'a' making it Roibe谩rd. The spelling changes a little when addressing someone named Roibeard (Roibe谩rd) to 'a Roibeaird' or ' a Roibe谩ird' The 'a' before the name in this case is not part of the spelling of the name it just indicates that you are addressing someone by name.
