Irish Name
A formal Irish name consists of a given name and a surname. In the Irish language, surnames are generally patronymic in etymology but are no longer literal patronyms as, for example, most Icelandic names still are. The form of a surname varies according to whether its bearer is male or female, and in the case of a married woman, whether she chooses to adopt her husband's surname. An alternative traditional naming convention consists of the first name followed by a double patronym, usually with the father and grandfather's names. This convention is not used for official purposes but is generalized in ''GaeltachtaÃ'' (Irish-speaking areas) and also survives in some rural non-''Gaeltacht'' areas. Sometimes the name of the mother or grandmother may be used instead of the father or grandfather. Epithets A first name may be modified by an adjective to distinguish its bearer from other people with the same name. ''Mór'' ("big") and ''Óg'' ("young") are used to distinguish father and ...

Their genealogies claimed descent from Tál Cas. Their known ancestors are the subject of ''The Expulsion of the Déisi'' tale and one branch of their blood-line went on to rule the petty kingdom of Dyfed in Wales during the 4th century; probably in alliance with the Roman Emperor Magnus Maximus. Brian Bóruma is perhaps the best-known king from the dynasty and was responsible to a significant degree for carving out their fortunes. The family had built a power base on the banks of the River Shannon and Brian's brother Mahon became their first King of Munster, taking the throne from the rival Eóganachta. This influence was greatly extended under Brian who became High King of Ireland, following a series of wars against Hiberno-Norse kingdoms and the Chiefs of other Irish c ...
