1: Aífe an tSneachta -New Name (NP)

Meaning (Wants Aífe, does not want a byname that is the name of a real clan or a patronymic) most important.

[Aífe] is a Middle Irish Gaelic name dated 1166-73 in Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, "Index of Names in Irish Annals" (http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Feminine/A...).

[an tSneachta] is an undated byname found as a header in Woulfe, and is glossed 'of the snow, perhaps born in time of snow'.

The construction (an + t) can be seen with the example an tSléibhe '[of] the Mountain' and an tSuasáin [of] the Long, Uncombed Hair, found in Mari's article cited above (http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Descriptiv...). The Short Annals of Tirconaill, written sometime between 1241-1650 includes the phrase An sneachta mór (relating to something about big snow). (https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100019/ and https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100019/text038....), showing that the word for snow is found in period in the desired spelling. Assistance finding bracketing examples or better examples of this type of byname is appreciated. Mari's article has various examples of bynames indicating the circumstances of birth, including Anabaidh - "[the] Abortive" (i.e. born before his time) (http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Descriptiv...), and an Bhogáin [of] the Shell-less Egg ("[of] the Premature Birth") (http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Descriptiv...). And if "snows" can be considered a toponym, we have na Cairrce - [of] the Rock (http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Descriptiv...), an Chalaidh - [of] the Shore/Port/Harbor/Haven (http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Descriptiv...), and the example [of] the Mountain mentioned above. If this byname cannot be registered, the submitter will accept the byname Droctigh 'bridgemaker', found in Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, "Index of Names in Irish Annals" (http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Descriptiv...), dated 752 in the raw data. It is an Old Irish Gaelic descriptive byname.
