A - Z of Irish Names for Children by Diarmaid O' Muirithe
From Aaron to Una, Diarmaid O Muirithe provides a gloss on more than four hundred Irish forenames in his inimitable style that mixes scholarship, wit and quirky snippets of interest. As with all of Diarmaid O Muirithe's work, this book is a model of scholarship lightly worn and informed by a sense of curiosity and fun.
