Irish gaelic name translations?

i would like to get the name beau translated into irish gaelic?

Irish gaelic name translations?
Names from other languages are usually not "translated" into Irish unless there is a long-standing equivalent already in use, as is usually the case with Biblical names or old English and Norman names.





For this reason, you would not try to translate "beau" into the Irish word for beautiful, any more than you would do this in English: You would not decide to call this person by the name "Beautiful" in English I'm sure, any more than you would decide to call people "Rock" instead of "Peter".





Incidentally Amanda, "Ail铆n" does not mean "handsome" in Irish.





So to answer your question: "Beau" would be used unaltered by Irish speakers (although it sounds exactly like the Irish word for "cow" :-} )
Reply:go to the courts and change it
Reply:Beau is Alainn in Irish which means beautiful.
Reply:Beau means beautiful in French in the masculine form.


There is no direct translation.


The word beautiful in Irish is: alainn





Ailin is used as a boys name to mean handsome.


There are many others as well.


I hope this helps.
