Irish Names and Surnames is a comprehensive book written by Patrick Woulfe in 1906 that explores the origins, meanings, and variations of Irish names and surnames. The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with Irish personal names, while the second part focuses on Irish surnames. In the first part, Woulfe provides an in-depth analysis of the different types of personal names used in Ireland, including Gaelic, Norman, and Anglo-Irish names. He discusses the meaning and history of each name, as well as its variations and different spellings. Woulfe also explores the use of nicknames and patronymics in Irish naming traditions.The second part of the book is dedicated to Irish surnames. Woulfe examines the origins and meanings of over 2,000 Irish surnames, tracing their roots back to Gaelic, Norman, and English sources. He also provides information on the different variations and spellings of each surname, as well as their distribution throughout Ireland.Overall, Irish Names and Surnames is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish genealogy, history, or culture. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex history of Irish naming traditions, and provides a wealth of information on the origins and meanings of Irish names and surnames.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
