Oona
(pronounced OO-nuh)
What do you think of this old Irish girl's name?
My sister in law has that name. Its pretty. I think that a lot of kids get made fun of for their name (I did and I have a very common one) so I wouldn't let that stop me if you like it.
Reply:It sounds like an eskimo name to me, sorry.
Reply:It's interesting, was the name of Charlie Chaplin's wife.
I really like the name Siobhan (shiv-ON) and Fiona.
Reply:If you live in ireland, sure. but in america, shes just going to be made fun of, not gonna lie.
Reply:I have a Scottish friend who spells it U-n-a. I like it.
Reply:Oona O'Neill, the daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neill, married Charlie Chaplin. She's one of the better known 'Oona's.
Reply:It sounds like Uno, the card game. Sorry!!
Reply:its different but really cute
Reply:I love It, It's uncommon and unique. I love my name for being unique, and I'm sure your daugther would love it too.
Reply:it sounds interesting LOL

Reply:a little out there, maybe in Ireland its okay, bute her (US) growing up it might be a challenge..
Reply:It won't fly in the US.

Reply:its a pretty name but i personally would use it as a middle name rather that 1st name
Reply:I'm not sure...it doesn't really come off the tongue nice in American accents, you know. Maybe in an Irish accent, it sounds better.

English equivelent is Agnes -- and I hate that name

Reply:Afric Africk Though it sounds like it should mean Africa, it doesn't. It has been recorded as an Irish name as far back as the 11th Century and is still quite popular to-day.
Aibreann av-rawn April, Avril Aibreann is the Irish word for the month April.
Aideen ay-deen This is a variation of Etain. It is also sometimes used for girls whose fathers are called Aidan - the -een ending is a diminutive. Aidan comes from the old Irish aed which means 'fire' with the -een meaning small, so 'little fire'
Ailbe al-vah Alva From a translation into Irish of the Latin Alba meaning 'white'
.
Aileen ay-leen From the old Irish 'ail' meaning 'noble.'. The -een is a diminutive, so little noble one. It is a variation of Eileen.
Ailis Eilis ay-lish Alice, Elizabeth Irish version of both Alice and Elizabeth
Aine awn-ya Anya Anne Two origins: 1. An old Gaelic name meaning 'radiance' or 'joy'. 2. Also used as the Irish equivalent of Anne.
Alannah ah-lan-ah Alana From 'leanbh' the Irish word for child, this is an affectionate usage of 'child', often translated as 'darling child'.
Alma An early Irish name, used for both boys and girls, meaning 'all good'.
Aoibheann eve-een Eavan Aoibhinn means 'lovely', the name is also sometime a diminutive of Eve - 'little Eve'.
Aoife ee-fa Eve A very old Irish name meaning 'beautiful or radiant'. May also come from Eve.
Ashling Aislinn ash-ling In Irish means 'a vision or dream'.
Aurnia our-nia Orla A variation of Orla, meaning 'Golden Lady'. The 12th century Irish chieftain Donal 脫g MacCarthy had a daughter of this name.
Banba An old name used for Ireland. I have never heard it used as a girls name in Ireland, but it has been suggested as one.
Betha bay-thah From the Irish word for 'life'.
Bl谩thnaid, Bl谩naid, Bl谩thnat blaw-nid blaw-nat Blath means 'flower', the name is generally understood to mean 'little flower'. In Irish legend she was rescued by the hero Cuchulainn from an unhappy marriage but later killed by her husbands servant.
Briana, Brianna bree-a-nah The female version of Brian meaning 'hill' though often said to be indicative of 'noble or virtuous'.
Brigid, Bridget bridge-id Brigit The name comes from the Irish 'brigh' meaning 'powerful' or 'high one'. While mostly associated with St Brigid, it is actually a much older Celtic name. In fact St Brigid predates Christianity too, and was the most important goddess of Celtic times. The stories told of saint and goddess are so intermingled as to be impossible to separate. Could it be they are one and the same?
Bronagh brone-ah Brona 'bronach ' means 'sad or sorrowful' in Irish. Maudlin name to give a child one would think!
Caitl铆n kate-lyn Katherine Irish versions of the English name.
cat-rio-nah
Caoilfhoinn key-lin Keelin From the Irish words for 'slender' and 'fair'. Quite a few Irish saints had this name.
Caoimhe qwee-vuh or key-vuh Keva From the Irish word 'caomh' which can variously mean 'gentle, beautiful or graceful'. ]
Cara car-ah Kara In Irish 'cara' means 'friend.' - Do Chara means Your Friend and thus the name of this site!
Cathleen kath-leen Kathleen Irish variant of Katherine. Note that in Irish there is no letter K, so it will always be spelt with a C. \
Catriona cat-rio-nah Katherine Another Irish variant for Katherine.
Ciara keyrah Keera Feminised version of Ciaran, meaning 'dark'.
Cliona Cl铆odhna klee-un-ah From the Irish clodhna meaning 'shapely.' In Celtic myth Cl铆odhna was an Irish Goddess who fell in love with Caibhan (Kevin) a mortal.
Clodagh klodah Thought to be related to the name of a river in Tipperary (The Clody). Many Irish rivers were named after Celtic Gods and Goddesses, but if there was a Goddess known as Clodagh nothing is known of her.
Colleen kolleen A phonetic pronunciation of the Irish word 'cail铆n', meaning girl. Rarely used as a name in Ireland, but popular in Irish communities in the USA and elsewhere
Reply:Brianna - meaning "noble, virtuous"
Reply:Colleen
Erin
Delores (that's old)

Try:
Aisling - pronounced ashling
means dream/vision
Erin isn't realy that irish - it's more americanised irish. and bridgette is old english
Siobhan is a nice one too - pronounced shiv-awn
saoirse - pronounced seer-sha, is certainly an old name - tho i'm not keen on it cos over here in ireland it's very common these days
Aoif茅 (eefah), Caoilinn (kee-lan) and Naimh (Neev) and nice too, and old - they come from the old Irish legends
**Edit - be wary of mr 'i'm so irish' down there - he can't spell Eimear, Bronagh, or Siobhan, so i'm not quite sure if he knows as much as he thinks he does
He even uttered the fateful phrase 'I speak irish'. No-one irish calls our language that - it's Gaelige
Reply:here is a HUGE list of gaelic names. they should give you some ideas.
http://www.babynamesworld.com/search.php...
Alannah means "rock" in gaelic. so if you want her to be a strong woman, that is a beautiful name. you could also go with Ashlyn (dream), Bidelia (power, strength), Catlen (purity), or even Triona.

Reply:Maeve or Siobhan...
look up some Celtic names, they are the best
Reply:Afric Africk Though it sounds like it should mean Africa, it doesn't. It has been recorded as an Irish name as far back as the 11th Century and is still quite popular to-day.
Aibreann av-rawn April, Avril Aibreann is the Irish word for the month April.
Aideen ay-deen This is a variation of Etain. It is also sometimes used for girls whose fathers are called Aidan - the -een ending is a diminutive. Aidan comes from the old Irish aed which means 'fire' with the -een meaning small, so 'little fire'
Ailbe al-vah Alva From a translation into Irish of the Latin Alba meaning 'white'
.
Aileen ay-leen From the old Irish 'ail' meaning 'noble.'. The -een is a diminutive, so little noble one. It is a variation of Eileen.
Ailis Eilis ay-lish Alice, Elizabeth Irish version of both Alice and Elizabeth
Aine awn-ya Anya Anne Two origins: 1. An old Gaelic name meaning 'radiance' or 'joy'. 2. Also used as the Irish equivalent of Anne.
Alannah ah-lan-ah Alana From 'leanbh' the Irish word for child, this is an affectionate usage of 'child', often translated as 'darling child'.
Alma An early Irish name, used for both boys and girls, meaning 'all good'.
Aoibheann eve-een Eavan Aoibhinn means 'lovely', the name is also sometime a diminutive of Eve - 'little Eve'.
Aoife ee-fa Eve A very old Irish name meaning 'beautiful or radiant'. May also come from Eve.
Ashling Aislinn ash-ling In Irish means 'a vision or dream'.
Aurnia our-nia Orla A variation of Orla, meaning 'Golden Lady'. The 12th century Irish chieftain Donal 脫g MacCarthy had a daughter of this name.
Banba An old name used for Ireland. I have never heard it used as a girls name in Ireland, but it has been suggested as one.
Betha bay-thah From the Irish word for 'life'.
Bl谩thnaid, Bl谩naid, Bl谩thnat blaw-nid blaw-nat Blath means 'flower', the name is generally understood to mean 'little flower'. In Irish legend she was rescued by the hero Cuchulainn from an unhappy marriage but later killed by her husbands servant.
Briana, Brianna bree-a-nah The female version of Brian meaning 'hill' though often said to be indicative of 'noble or virtuous'.
Brigid, Bridget bridge-id Brigit The name comes from the Irish 'brigh' meaning 'powerful' or 'high one'. While mostly associated with St Brigid, it is actually a much older Celtic name. In fact St Brigid predates Christianity too, and was the most important goddess of Celtic times. The stories told of saint and goddess are so intermingled as to be impossible to separate. Could it be they are one and the same?
Bronagh brone-ah Brona 'bronach ' means 'sad or sorrowful' in Irish. Maudlin name to give a child one would think!
Caitl铆n kate-lyn Katherine Irish versions of the English name.
cat-rio-nah
Caoilfhoinn key-lin Keelin From the Irish words for 'slender' and 'fair'. Quite a few Irish saints had this name.
Caoimhe qwee-vuh or key-vuh Keva From the Irish word 'caomh' which can variously mean 'gentle, beautiful or graceful'. ]
Cara car-ah Kara In Irish 'cara' means 'friend.' - Do Chara means Your Friend and thus the name of this site!
Cathleen kath-leen Kathleen Irish variant of Katherine. Note that in Irish there is no letter K, so it will always be spelt with a C. \
Catriona cat-rio-nah Katherine Another Irish variant for Katherine.
Ciara keyrah Keera Feminised version of Ciaran, meaning 'dark'.
Cliona Cl铆odhna klee-un-ah From the Irish clodhna meaning 'shapely.' In Celtic myth Cl铆odhna was an Irish Goddess who fell in love with Caibhan (Kevin) a mortal.
Clodagh klodah Thought to be related to the name of a river in Tipperary (The Clody). Many Irish rivers were named after Celtic Gods and Goddesses, but if there was a Goddess known as Clodagh nothing is known of her.
Colleen kolleen A phonetic pronunciation of the Irish word 'cail铆n', meaning girl. Rarely used as a name in Ireland, but popular in Irish communities in the USA and elsewhere
Reply:Brianna - meaning "noble, virtuous"
Reply:Colleen
Erin
Delores (that's old)

Reply:No, Alannah isn't that old a name
Try:
Aisling - pronounced ashling
means dream/vision
Erin isn't realy that irish - it's more americanised irish. and bridgette is old english
Siobhan is a nice one too - pronounced shiv-awn
saoirse - pronounced seer-sha, is certainly an old name - tho i'm not keen on it cos over here in ireland it's very common these days
Aoif茅 (eefah), Caoilinn (kee-lan) and Naimh (Neev) and nice too, and old - they come from the old Irish legends
**Edit - be wary of mr 'i'm so irish' down there - he can't spell Eimear, Bronagh, or Siobhan, so i'm not quite sure if he knows as much as he thinks he does
He even uttered the fateful phrase 'I speak irish'. No-one irish calls our language that - it's Gaelige
Reply:here is a HUGE list of gaelic names. they should give you some ideas.
http://www.babynamesworld.com/search.php...
Alannah means "rock" in gaelic. so if you want her to be a strong woman, that is a beautiful name. you could also go with Ashlyn (dream), Bidelia (power, strength), Catlen (purity), or even Triona.

This is what www.ancestry.com says about the origin of the name,
McBride Name Meaning and History
Irish (mainly County Donegal) and Scottish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Brighde, from earlier Mac Giolla Bhrighde (Irish), Mac Gille Brighde (Scottish) 鈥榮on of the servant of (Saint) Brighid鈥? Compare Kilbride.

Reply:Both. It can be African-American, too. The only way to know where your ancestors came from is to trace your family tree.
Reply:ditto to what Ted says.
The "origin" of a surname is NOT the same as the origin or heritage of a PERSON.
We'd love to entice you into tracing your ancestry. You would search for grandpa McBride, using documentation/ records, and go back to where you find the immigrant ancestor.
Searching for surnames is what I often think of as dart-throwing.

Reply:Thought this might be of interest to you, it is relatives of Donald McBride who was born in 1799 Sheanochie, Arran, Scotland. There is definitely McBrides from Scotland but whether your family came from Scotland or Ireland I don't know, but try this out you might find some long lost relative.

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.

How do you say in Irish Gaelic - "full circle"? I am going to name my house this.?
Its difficult to translate the phrase without knowing what meaning you want attached to it. Using online dictionaries wont work because you'll just get gibberish. "l谩n ciorcal" means circle filled.
Closest translation I can think of is "ciorcal ioml谩n" which means complete or total circle.

I quite like Cyllan....how do you spell it.....like that famous guys Cyllan Murphy. By the way, I hope you are in Ireland, because I think in Ireland these names would be celebrated and appreciated, and I think your son can be really proud of them. But I really think that if you arent in Ireland, or even in the UK, I think they'll make fun of him and that your son won't get the significance of his name, and may not like it so much.

This is what www.ancestry.com says about the origin of the name,
McBride Name Meaning and History
Irish (mainly County Donegal) and Scottish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Brighde, from earlier Mac Giolla Bhrighde (Irish), Mac Gille Brighde (Scottish) 鈥榮on of the servant of (Saint) Brighid鈥? Compare Kilbride.

Reply:Both. It can be African-American, too. The only way to know where your ancestors came from is to trace your family tree.
Reply:ditto to what Ted says.
The "origin" of a surname is NOT the same as the origin or heritage of a PERSON.
We'd love to entice you into tracing your ancestry. You would search for grandpa McBride, using documentation/ records, and go back to where you find the immigrant ancestor.
Searching for surnames is what I often think of as dart-throwing.

Reply:Thought this might be of interest to you, it is relatives of Donald McBride who was born in 1799 Sheanochie, Arran, Scotland. There is definitely McBrides from Scotland but whether your family came from Scotland or Ireland I don't know, but try this out you might find some long lost relative.

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.

How do you say in Irish Gaelic - "full circle"? I am going to name my house this.?
Its difficult to translate the phrase without knowing what meaning you want attached to it. Using online dictionaries wont work because you'll just get gibberish. "l谩n ciorcal" means circle filled.
Closest translation I can think of is "ciorcal ioml谩n" which means complete or total circle.

Reply:The Bean-nighe
This variation on the Banshee could be found in the legends of Ireland, Scotland and Brittany. The name 'Bean-Nighe' means washer woman. She was called this as she was usually seen washing bloody garments at the water's edge. Her feet were webbed like those of a duck or goose. If a traveler saw her before she spied him, he would survive, however, if she spied him first, he would die. In the Scottish Highlands, it was thought that only those about to die could see her.

What is the Irish Kings name in Tristan and Isolde?
What is his characters name or his real name....trying to settle argument....THANKS!!!!
What is the Irish Kings name in Tristan and Isolde?
King Mark, but he was Scottish not Irish if your talking about the opera by Richard Wagner.
If they mythical story....
The real Tristan may have been the Pictish prince, named Drust, the son of Talorc. Drust was believed to have lived in Scotland, in c. 780. Here, the story of Morholt, originated, with Drust saving a princess from pirates.
By the time story had reached south into Wales, Drust had evolved to Drystan, the son of Tallwch. The love triangle between King March, Essyllt (March's wife) and Drystan (the king's nephew) had been introduced along with the hero killing a dragon.
If your talking about that Russell Crowe movie....
After the fall of Rome, visionary warlord Marke (Rufus Sewell) seeks to unite the squabbling English tribes to form one strong nationand defeat brutal Irish King Donnchadh. But when Lord Marke's greatest and most loyal knight, Tristan (James Franco), falls in love with Isolde (Sophia Myles), a beautiful Irish woman, it threatens to destroy the fragile truce and ignite a war. In the spirit of Braveheart and A Knight's Tale, TRISTAN + ISOLDE is a rousing tale of trust and treachery that will leave you breathless!
Reply:Oh I love that movie! I borrowed it to my neighbor and thent hey moved! I don't remember his name, but I know exactly who you're talking about. Do a google search. Google knows all.

Why hasn't the school with the most racist name in sports, the Fighting Irish, been forced to change it?
All the schools with Native American names, even the schools with totally non-derogatory names, were forced to change their names. Meanwhile, Notre Dame's teams are the Fighting Irish, a name based on an openly derogatory stereotype about Irish people. For most of the history of the US, Irish people have been treated about a half-notch better than black people, so I don't see having a racial stereotype about Irish people as your team name could possibly be a appropriate.

Reply:Because Irish people like me have thick skin. How about Paddy Wagon? That's another word that is stereotypical. Who cares? It doesn't bother me one bit. All stereotypes, like it or not, are rooted in truth. The Irish were known for getting drunk and fighting. Paddy wagon came about because a lot of the people at a certain time in America who were being arrested were Irish. Then it changed to the people who were driving the wagon were Irish.
Reply:When the Washington Redskins change this name and the team logo which is a. Native American Indian.Why do SOUTHERN states still fly the STARS AND BARS symbol of the CONFEDERACY, which is considered a SYMBOL of RACISM.

Do you like the Irish babby name "Scrotus" for a boy?
Hello dear YA friends! My husband and I are seriously considering this traditional Irish Gaelic name.
Do you like the Irish babby name "Scrotus" for a boy?
Scrotus Von Testicleeese sounds good
Reply:It may be Irish, and it may be traditional, but it is also dangerously close to a certain part of the male body. I love that you guys are celebrating your heritage, but remember your son is going to go to school, and schoolkids are mean. Furthermore, he might be held back from a job or other opportunities because of his name...so I would reconsider.
Reply:no no no no no come on when you hear the name Scrotus what is the first word that pops into your head?.. SCROTUM. you don't want that name being thrown at your son everyday of his life. stay away from Scrotus.
Reply:Hmm...I am afraid it screams "scrotum" in my mind, and if that is what it does to tons of other people the child will suffer in school...
Reply:Like someone said before, it looks like Scrotum. Sorry. :(
May I suggest something Seamus? I absolutely adore that name! :)

WHat is the name of the Irish Parliment?
The common name for the parliament in the Irish Republic is "D谩il Eireann", or "the D谩il" as most people call it here. It's roughly pronounced 'dawl'. The second house is the "Seanad" (Senate), but it has relatively minor importance compared to the D谩il. Both houses together are called the "Oireacteas" - this term is not normally used however. When Irish people think of the parliament they think of the D谩il. The building where they meet is called "Leinster House". It's in Kildare St. in Dublin.
Stormont is just the name of the castle in Northern Ireland where the elected representatives are meant to meet. The name for the parliament in Northern Ireland is the "Northern Ireland Assembly", or more colloquially, the "Stormont Assembly". Not that there *is* an assembly in place there at the moment. Right now, Northern Ireland doesn't have a parliament. It is ruled directly from Westminster in London.

What is the name of the song that sounds Irish but isn't....?
So I have been wondering for a long time what the name of and artist who performs this one song that our school always played during basketball game warm-ups. It sounds sort of Irish/Celtic or something but is more modern and "rockish..." If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate their answers.
What is the name of the song that sounds Irish but isn't....?
"Danny Boy" is widely considered to be Irish, even though it isn't. Probably not what you're thinking of though- it's not a very rockish tune.
Any more specifics? Can you remember any of the lyrics, or was it instrumental? If instrumental, did it sound like a jig (6/8 time)?

Irish names: What does Mc stand for? Does Mac mean the same in Scottish names?
Is Mc or Mac like Son-of ?
Irish names: What does Mc stand for? Does Mac mean the same in Scottish names?
Mac at the beginning of a surname is Gaelic for son of. Mc is an abbreviation that came to be used in some cases. Some people will try to tell you that one is Scottish and the other is Irish. This is not true I have seen both used in surnames from each country. While I am on it the O' before Irish surnames comes from a Gaelic word that means grandson of. The apostrophe is not really an apostrophe -in Gaelic spelling is a fada, a diacritical mark used in Gaelic.
mac Niall = son of Niall - modern MacNeil or McNeil
U铆 Niall = grandson of Niall-modern O' Neil or O'Neal
Once upon a time women also used "na" , daughter of as a prefix to a patronymic. Who is now named Maureen O'Brien ( from U铆 Briain ) would centuries ago have been
Maureen na Briain.
Yeah Jock, I agree that the Scottish Gaels come from the septs of the U铆 Niall Clan. My own background is Dal gCa铆s and Eoganacht-southern Ireland.

Reply:Yes, if you are a guy for example MacLeod (McLeod)

bassmeis...yes you'll have seen people with Mc in Scotland too, but if you dig down you'll find ther ancestors are from Ireland, probably the Northern half of Ireland too, just as are the O,Neill's
Reply:Mc, Mac and Fitz means son of
The prefix O means descendant of.
That does not mean every McDonald is related. No doubt there was more than one Donald that had sons.
Reply:I believe it signifies a clan or a family transcendence; as such, it is essentially a possessive surname.

Is the last name Allen of Irish origin?
Allan Name Meaning and History
Scottish and northern English: variant spelling of Allen. This is the more common spelling of the name in Scotland and northern England; in Scotland it is often found as an English form of the Gaelic name McAllen (see McAllan).
Is the last name Allen of Irish origin?
According to this website, http://genealogy.about.com/library/surna...
Allen comes from the Scottish.
Definition: From "aluinn," meaning fair or handsome.
Surname Origin: Scottish
Alternate Surname Spellings: ALAN, ALLAN
Reply:yes
Reply:Good chance it is Dal Raitien (Irish Scotland). It is a sept of several clans to include Clan Reynald of MacDonald, MacDonald, MacFarland, and MacKey. All of these clans have connections with the Irish and also with the Norse. Allen is derived from the name of Macallen or Son of Allen. The odds place the name with Clan Donald or the MacDonalds. This clan held the Islands between Scotland and Ireland and a good share of Scotland and Antrium County Ireland. The name could have been found in any of the Donald holdings in these areas. It is most likely to have been found in the Clan Reynald (House of Clan Donald and with an independent Chief) holdings and is most common there. These lands are found on the mainland of Scotland. For more information concerning Clan Donald and the history and related information please go to www.clan-donald-usa.org. You will find a general history of the Clan, genealogical assistance and so forth available there.

Reply:Good chance it is Dal Raitien (Irish Scotland). It is a sept of several clans to include Clan Reynald of MacDonald, MacDonald, MacFarland, and MacKey. All of these clans have connections with the Irish and also with the Norse. Allen is derived from the name of Macallen or Son of Allen. The odds place the name with Clan Donald or the MacDonalds. This clan held the Islands between Scotland and Ireland and a good share of Scotland and Antrium County Ireland. The name could have been found in any of the Donald holdings in these areas. It is most likely to have been found in the Clan Reynald (House of Clan Donald and with an independent Chief) holdings and is most common there. These lands are found on the mainland of Scotland.
