Reply:Ryan that name for a boy originated in ireland as Rian same name but spelled different
Reply:Here are some girl Irish names!


Aideen - Formed like Aidan from aed "fire." Aideen loved her husband Oscar, a grandson of Fionn Mac Cool (read the legend), so much that when he fell in battle she died of a broken heart. This is a BOYS name sorry it went into the wrong list!





Alannah - Adding a to leanbh, the word for "child" in Irish, brings a sense of warmth 鈥?"O child" or "darling child."


A favored name in Ireland with all three spellings.





Claire - The feminine form of Ciaran, from the Irish ciar meaning "dark" and implies "dark hair and brown eyes." St. Ciara was a distinguished seventh-century figure who established a monastery at Kilkeary in County Tipperary.


It was the fourth most popular baby girl name in Ireland in 2003.





Coleen - From the Irish cailin meaning "girl" and used by the Irish in the USA and Australia as a way of connecting to their Irish roots.





Gael-Often refers to a person who is a native Irish speaker or a person who is from Ireland. Medieval legend holds that Gael was the name of the hero from whom the Irish race took its name.





Kerry- ciar means "dark" and probably implies "dark hair and brown eyes." County Kerry means "the land of the descendant of Ciar" who was the love-child of the High King Fergus Mac Roth and the legendary Queen Maebh.





Shauna- The feminine form of Sean. It is currently a very popular name in Ireland.





Boy Irish names:





Bradan - Comes from the word bradan meaning "a salmon" in Irish and the bradan feasa, the "Salmon of Knowledge" (read the legend) is central to the tales of Fionn MacCool (read the legend).





Brian- From brigh "high, noble, strong." This is one of the most widespread Irish names ever, in honour of the most revered High King of Ireland, Brian Boru (read the legend) who defeated an army of invading Vikings at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 but died of wounds he received in the battle.


Kincora 鈥?a poem by James Clarence Mangan (translated). This is my favorite.





Dillon- From dealan "a flash of lightning" or it may come from an Irish word for "faithful, loyal." A common surname it is the Irish form of the Welsh name "Dylan."


As Dylan it was the tenth most popular name for baby boys in Ireland in 2003.





Liam- The Irish form of William, originally a German name will + helm "desire + helmet" and suggests "strong protector."


It is currently a very fashionable name in Ireland and across the world.





Riley - Meaning "courageous, valiant." A surname in Ireland that can be used as a given name.





Sean - Irish form of John meaning "God's gracious gift." Shane is a very popular variant of the name in Northern Ireland in memoryof Shane O'Neill whose forces won notable victories over the armies of Queen Elizabeth 1st in the sixteenth century.





Tomas - The Irish form of Thomas, a biblical name meaning "twin."





Good luck my favorites are Brian and Claire.

I love Irish names!
Reply:Names that are actually Irish in origin are usually very difficult to pronounce. Here are some examples:





Aoife ~ (EE-fuh)


Saoirse ~ (SEER-shuh)


Iseult ~ (ee-SOLT)


Niamh ~ (neev)


Caoimhe ~ (KEE-vuh)


Muirne ~ (MEER-nuh)


Grainne ~ (GRAWN-yuh)





I would go with something that most people can easily pronounce like Fallon, Keely, Brynna, or Teagan.





My favorite Irish boys' names are Kellan, Brogan, Eoghan (pronounced like Owen), and Nolan.
