I love the way Kadie looks at Cam while he speaks.

My daughter is called Aoife :-) as a nod to my Irish wife .

Oisín is the half-fairy son of Fionn McCool who became a great hero in the story of Tír a nÓg. He was discovered in the form of a deer hence the name little deer.

Great video! wow! loved it

Alva is an English version of Ailbhe

My name is Sheila and my grandmother came through Ellis Island in the early 1900's. I am so happy to come across your channel and learn some Irish.pronunciation. I didnt learn from my grandmother as she passed long before I was born Erin go bragh!

I am an Irish speaker and Cameron could have started with his own name which is a compound word CAM=crooked (Kam) Srón=nose (Shron) . A rule of grammar puts an H after the S and silences the S in the combination creating Camshrón= (Kam Rown) Crooked Nose, so the first Cameron had a crooked nose. It may be more common in Scotland. Regarding Eoin, it is also the form of John referring to the Apostle. Seán also means John but is borrowed in from the French Jean (Zahn). Mike or Maidhc=Mike

One name a lot of people I've found don't know is Irish is Oscar. Oscar or Oscara means "deer freind" and Oscar was the foremost warrior poet of na Fianna in Irish mythology.

A great video on 10 Irish names my name is Richard in English and an Irish it's Risteard so that's the difference but every country has different ways of spelling names kind of interest in looking into it ❤️🍀🇨🇮💯🍀👍

Love your videos! Could you do one on flags?? Xx

This is awesome

Excellent

In Portuguese and Spanish we have Alva or Alba, which means white or with very fair skin. I think it has some similarity with Ailbhe.

In Scotland Osìn is spelled Ossian and pronounced like Ocean but with the short O sound.

We have some of those names here in Australia. I quite often hear the Irish version of them but some are in English.

Grainne was on my short list of names for my daughter. We didn't use it because my husband had a name he had loved for years. And I didn't want my daughter called GiGi because of her initials. (bad childhood friend.)

Love it! My name is Shaun. I'm a dude and have Irish heritage. How do you spell my name correctly in Gaelic? My mother said mine is the Irish spelling, but I know she's incorrect. I've been to 45 countries but never Ireland. Sadly, besides awesome Irish songs, I have little knowledge of Irish language or culture. I'm much more aware of Japanese, Chinese, Indian, German, Mexican etc. cultures. You guys are great and I have fun watching/learning from you!

My husband has an ancestor whose family did come from Ireland at some point. Her name was Alva. Sounds a bit like Aibhe

Such a lovely couple - keep looking at each other like you do.

Some of my familys names are Grian, Neasa, Saerlaith, Caoimhe, Bronagh (which is mine and means Sorrow/sadness), Emmet, Oisin, Naoise, and thats just off the top of my head haha

Ok so my daughters name is Kaitlyn and I call her Kadie. I would love for you to do her name (aka your name). I was always taught Kaitlyn meant pure and the shorten version was Kadie. (Which I love and would never change. It is very unique where we live.)

My last name is Farrelly. I've never met another. No one pronounces it correctly ever. I've traced my ancestor Patrick Farrelly coming over to the US as a young man studying to be a priest in 1790. Can you confirm the pronunciation and an idea of which county Farrellys are typically from? (And now I know how to pronounce his first name) Thanks!

My mom had an Aunt Alva! But just spelled Alva, not the Irish way

My last name is Gleeson which is a surname and what's the correct spelling and pronunciation for this name in Gaelic?

Do some surnames like mine. Our surnames are fascinating.

My father's middle name is 'Alva' & this goes back generations... i think you say that name but cant tell...Should add English\American phonetic subtitle😮s

Do they not have v's in Irish? They just use an mh for that sound?

'Emerging from Celtic mythos, Elva is a feminine name of Irish origin. Meaning "white" or "bright," Elva is a variation of the name Ailbhe which itself derives from the Old Irish word albho of the same meaning. There are many who interpret Elva as an elfin leader, tracing the title back to the Anglo-Saxon aelf, which means 'elf.' In truth, Elva is far more fierce and formidable with strong ties to the ancient Irish warrior, Ailbhe Gruadbrecc. One of the fearless female members of the legendary Fianna, known as the banféinní, Ailbhe is thought to have been a great love of Fionn mac Cumall. Known for her freckled complexion, there is little doubt that Elva's meaning is an homage to this fair-skinned warrior'.

Ailbhe sounds like the English girl's name Alva. I've known a few women named Alva -also Alba.

I believe Ailbhe is equivalent to Alba

Oisin stands for in legend the greatest poet of Ireland

Ailbhe..for the pronunciation Alva (if I am hearing you correctly)...Thomas Edison's middle name was Alva.

Many years ago I knew a girl named Alva

Oisin was Finn macools son from Sabdh who was turned into a deer by a wizard to hide her from a prophecy!

Ailbhe in English is Alva, as in the inventor Thomas Alva Edison.

I like how yall both look at each other when listening to each talk. It's very attentive and caring towards each other. It also seems like your guys' communication is amazing as well. As both of you seem to love listening and learning. I hope that makes sense!

Alla is Russian version of Ailbhe, the noble one

Hi what does Michaela mean in Irish

I have met a couple of Alvas, so it isn't just an Irish Name. In fact, it was, also Thomas Edison's middle name.

I always wondered why the start of Aoibhinn is pronounced differently to the start of Aoife.

Great video :) How would you pronounce the surname "Hehir" correctly ?

Thank you, Friends. This was grainne! (Sorry I don't know how to place the accent)

What about the name Faolán?

Owain is actually a Welsh name. Cymru am byth!

I think, not sure though, that Oscar is Oisín

My name is Albertina, could the shortened version Alba, be what Ailbhe is in Irish?

Is it true that whether you pronounce "h" as "haych" or "aich" instantly marks you out as being either Catholic or Protestant in the North?

I think parents mostly use Laoise now instead of labhaoise

owen is on the list, haha.........

mine name is Cloddagh

Sean agus niamh.

The Anglicised version of Alibhe is Elva - I had an aunt who was named Elva.

My favorite Irish name for a boy is Caoimhe that is pronounced “Koiba”👍Very good video guys !!!!

I SAID. POD REY

My name has no English meaning just irish means black hair

Please don't refer to me Irish language as Gaelic. It is gaeilge in Irish

I see many of these things on KZfaq and they are usually 80% wrong. So lets see.... 1. Conchúr is not Kruhore as this guy says...it is Kruhoor. The standard spelling is Conchubhar. 2. Conchúr does not mean lover of wolves...it means wolf helper/helper of wolves. 3. No Eoghan is not pronounced Owen...well yes it is by Irish people but they get it wrong. Firstly, 'Eo' at the start of a word has a 'y' sound. Secondly the 'o' is short and not long. It should be pronounced as Yoh-un (minus the 'h'). The 'o' is like the 'o' in bomb. 4. NO. You said Eoin is an English form. This guy hasnt a clue. Firstly, Eoin is spelt Eóin and is native Irish and should be pronounced as Yoe-un. Eoghan is pronounced short while Eóin is pronounced long. 5. No, Eoghan does not mean young fighter. It derives from eo 'yew tree'. Eóin is a Gaelicised form of John. 6. Seosamh is not pronounced Show-suv...it is Shoh-suv (a short 'o'). Like Eoghan, the 'o' is short not long. 7. NO NO NO. It is pronounced with a soft 'd' and not a hard 'd'. The other pronunciation you mention also has a variant spelling Pádhraig. You CANNOT pronounce Padraig as Pawrick. 8. Oh dear St Patrick's Day is not Lá Fhéile Padraig (law eylla pawdraig) it is Lá Fheile Phádraig (law eylla Fawrdig). Did this guy attend any grammar classes in Irish? 9. I think this is gonna be a long one! Patrick/Pádraig does not mean a 'born leader' it means the 'Patrician'. 10. HOORAY! Correctimundo!. Should add though that Ossian is used as an English version. 11. Oh dear back to the mistakes. Labhaoise is NOT pronounced as Leesha. It is Laweesha and is Louisa in English. Why do you think the 'bh' is there? Leesha, as a name is from Laoise....a different name. 12. HOORAY. But the English form does exist and it is....wait for it.....Alva. 13. Now back to the mistakes. It is spelt Mairéad and NOT Máiréad. 14. You almost got a cigar. It is not pronounced Eevin or Aiveen but Eeving. The double 'n' at the end of a word has an 'ng' sound. 15. Pronounce correctly but it does NOT mean 'the sun'.....although the meaning is not 100% known, it means either 'grain' (from grán) or 'ugly' (from gránna). Thanks for the apology at the end for names being butchered...sadly though the guy and his "Irish" versions were also guilty of butchering. Finally, people think Irish names are hard to pronounce...well they are not as Irish is phonetic unlike English...you just need to know how the letters and letter combinations are pronounced.....then you can pronounced almost any Irish word. The final reason why people think Irish names are difficult is because so many people, like this guy, pronounce them wrong to start with. THERE IS NO HOPE.

A name cannot be both common and unique.

Annoying how he laughs at her pronunciations.
