Gaelic Baby Names
Gaelic baby names are often ancient and infused with meaning grounded in mythology, place names, and characteristics of the individual. Gaelic baby names usually have an "H" after the first letter and an "I" at the end of the name. Referred to as lenition, this practice is important for the pronunciation of a name and can alter it profoundly. Standard spelling for Gaelic names do not include lenition and do not always translate into English. Popular baby boy names include Aiden, meaning "fiery," Brandon, meaning " little raven," Brian or "strong one," Cargan, meaning "little rock," Clyde, meaning "warm," and Delano, meaning "dark." Popular baby girl names include Arlene, meaning "pledge," Bonnie meaning "pretty girl," Breanna, meaning "strong and virtuous," Caley, meaning "brave warrior," and Davina, meaning "beloved."
