About Irish fantasy names

An Irish fantasy name starts with an Irish given name and adds the part that tells a story. Before hereditary surnames, people in Ireland were told apart by a byname, a parent's name or a rank, so Tadhg the Reaver, Oisín Nine-Hounds and Brehon Flaithrí Even-Scales follow an old habit. The given names here are Irish ones in Irish spelling, fadas included (Fionnuala, Sadhbh, Ruarc, Muirgheal); the bynames and titles are coined for fantasy.

The list covers the cast of a Gaelic-inspired setting: fianna-style warriors, kings and queens with a realm, bards, harpers and ollamhs (the highest grade of poet), seers and wise women, smiths, healers and brehons (the judges of native Irish law), cattle-lords and sea rovers, monks and hermits of an invented island church, a few druids and sídhe-touched nobles, and working folk from swineherds to ferrymen.

Some entries use Irish epithets: Mór (big), Óg (young), Rua (red-haired), Dubh (dark), Bán (fair), Liath (grey). After a woman's name the adjective is usually lenited, so Sadhbh Bhán but Cathaoir Bán. Phrases such as na Gealaí (of the moon) and na Mara (of the sea) follow the name and never change. Men's surnames are mostly anglicized (O'Rourke, MacNamara); women's take Ní or Nic, the Irish feminine forms of Ó and Mac.

How to choose Irish fantasy names

  • Match the byname to the role. A deed name (Fiachra Who Held the Pass) suits a warrior, a craft name (Smith Úna Soot-Sleeves) suits a tradesperson, and a place name (Aoife of the Grey Water) suits almost anyone.
  • Keep the fadas. Órlaith, Éanna and Síomha are spelled with accents in Irish, and the accent changes the sound. If your game or platform cannot show them, drop them from every name rather than from some.
  • Use Irish epithets sparingly: Mór, Óg, Rua, Dubh and Bán after a man's name, and the softened Mhór or Bhán after most women's names. When you are not sure of the Irish, an English byname is the safer choice.
  • Give a ruler a realm and a commoner a trade. Queen Gormlaith of the Nine Glens and Tadhg the Swineherd tell the table who outranks whom before either says a word.
  • Mix registers in one cast. Conall Shieldbreaker, Sister Íde of the Nine Lamps and plain Tomaltach together read like a living community, where not everyone has earned a grand name.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a fantasy name sound Irish?

An Irish given name does most of the work: Fionnuala, Cormac, Sadhbh and Lorcán are instantly recognizable. Add a byname in the Irish manner, either an adjective after the name (Lorcán Óg, Sadhbh Bhán) or a phrase such as Cathal of the Hollow Ford. Ranks from Gaelic society, like Brehon, Ollamh and Taoiseach, finish the effect.

Are these the names of real or legendary people?

Not by design. The given names and surnames are Irish, but the bynames attached to them, such as Stormcrow or Nine-Hounds, are coined for fantasy, so an entry like Fionnuala Stormcrow is an invention. Plain pairings, such as a given name with Mór or Óg or with a real surname, are ordinary Irish names, so one may happen to match a person who lived. The heroes of legend, such as Cú Chulainn, are not entries here, though names from the old stories (Oisín, Niamh, Deirdre) appear as ordinary given names, as they do in Ireland today.

How do I pronounce Irish fantasy names?

Irish spelling has its own rules: bh and mh usually sound like v or w, dh and gh are soft or silent, and a fada lengthens the vowel. Sadhbh rhymes with five, Tadhg is like the start of tiger, Niamh is neev, Aoife is ee-fa, Oisín is ush-een and Órlaith is or-la.

What do Mór, Óg, Rua and Dubh mean after a name?

They are everyday Irish descriptive bynames: Mór is big or senior, Óg is young or junior, Rua is red-haired, Dubh is dark-haired, Bán is fair and Liath is grey. Families used them to tell namesakes apart, which is why Fearghal Mór and Lorcán Óg sound natural. After a woman's name the adjective is usually softened, giving Sadhbh Bhán and Úna Dhubh.
