About Celtic names

Celtic names come from the old languages of Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany, and they carry that landscape with them — names meaning fair, little fire, born of the sea. Spellings can look mysterious to American eyes (Saoirse, Niamh) because Gaelic follows its own elegant rules. Many arrive with myths attached: warriors, queens, and figures from stories a thousand years deep.

Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
