![]() ![]() 6: Faolán mac an Taoisigh - New Name (NP) & New Device Per pall Or, azure and vert, two wolves combattant argent Submitter desires a masculine name. Faolán is a Gaelic masculine given name found index of Names in Irish Annals: Fáelán / Faolán by Mari Elspeth nic Bryan http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Faelan.shtml and is an Early Modern Irish nominative form dated from 874 to 1423. mac an Taoisigh -We have "of the chieftain" in the Irish Annals(1315 and 1421) as "na Taoiseach," using the plural article "na" so it's actually "of the chieftains" as documented. https://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Descriptiv... -The singular article would be "an," as it is in the submission. - As far as the use of "Mac" with a descriptive byname, we have "Mac an Ultaigh," which follows the same form. https://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/FamilyName... Taoisigh is the correct singular genitive form of Taoiseach, so spelling as submitted should be correct. Mari's Index also has examples of the spelling taoisigh. Under Fiachrae / Fiachra (https://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Fiachrae.shtml) there is the example "Flann mac Fiachrach Uí Floinn adhbar taoísigh Shil Maoil Ruain" (Flann, son of Fiachrach Uí Floinn, was the chieftain of Shil Maoilruain). And others such as "Donnchadh Ballach Mac Samhradhain adbar taoisigh Teallaigh Eachdach" (s.n. Donnchad / Donnchadh, https://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Donnchad.shtml). Given the prevalence of MacIntosh in later records, I'm really surprised not to find "mac an Taoisigh" in Mari's Index. Barony of Calafia Submitted by Eridana emblazon provided by submitter |
