Sloinnidhean
Surnames
Giorrachaidhean:
Ga = Gaeilge, Gàidhlig na h-Éireann. Is ciall dha sin gun
dàinig an t-ainm seo ás Éireann an toiseach ach gu bheil daoine ann leis
ann an Alba cuideachd an-diugh.
Gd = Gàidhlig, cha chleachdar seo ach nuair a tha feum air a chum
ainm a chumail air falbh bho ainm Éireannach.
Puingean eile:
1. Cuimhnich gu bheil casg air
sèimheachadh le fuaimean a nithear san aon àite, m.e. MacGille,
MacCaluim ...
2. Tha dà dhòigh ann anns a chleachdar ainmean àite mar shloinneadh: a)
cuir an leasachan -(e)ach ris air neo b) cleachd an t-ainm àite san
tuiseal ghinideach ás déidh an ainm.
Eiseimpleirean:
Donald Blair
> Dòmhnall Blàrach;
Milicent Marr
> Milicent Mhàrr
Abbreviations:
Ga = Irish. This means that this is an originally Irish name but
that it exists in Scotland today.
Gd = (Scottish) Gaelic, this is only used to distinguish an Irish and a
Gaelic form of a surname.
Other Points:
1. Remember that lenition is
blocked with sounds made at the same point, eg MacGille, MacCaluim
...
2. There are two ways in which place names are used as surnames: a) add
the suffix -(e)ach to the place name or b) use the place name in the
genitive after the name.
Examples:
Donald
Blair
>
Dòmhnall Blàrach;
Milicent Marr
> Milicent Mhàrr
