That's neat! I know a guy named Rory. I suppose the second syllable of Ruairi comes from
rí
, the Irish word for king. Since I'm learning Spanish, I noticed it's pretty close to the Spanish word for king,
rey
.

Today's name is Ewan, meaning "young warrior."
It's pronounced like "
YEW-an
."
That's in contrast to Eoghan, pronounced like "Owen."

Today's name is
Máirín
(pronounced
Maw-reen
).
It means "star of the sea!"
The English version is "Maureen."
Curious if Mairead/Máiréad/Mairéad also had a sea-related meaning, I looked it up. The English version is Margaret, which means "pearl." Both rare and beautiful, a name that means pearl seems fitting for two of our favorite performers.

Cadhla (
KY-lah
) means beautiful, comely, and graceful.
It's one of my favorite Irish names. It seems to roll off the tongue (once you know how to pronounce it) and it has a pleasant sound.

Sile (SHEE-la) means 'pure and musical' or 'heavenly.' It's a derivative of Cecilia.

Fergal
means brave, courageous and valorous. In contrast to most Irish names/words, this one is pronounced pretty much as it looks.
