Órlaith
Órlaith (older spelling: Órfhlaith, newer spelling: Orlagh Órla) is an Irish language female given name. The meaning of the name derives from Ór, meaning "Golden" and Flaith, meaning "prince" although as names with "flaith" suffixes are almost always exclusively feminine, this is usually interpreted as meaning "princess". The retention of the 'fh' within the spelling maintains the ability to easily derive the true meaning of the name, but as this is silent, it is common to see this redacted. All spellings of the name are however pronounced the same, as "OR-la". Bearers of the name * Órfhlaith Begley, Member of Parliament for the West Tyrone constituency in the United Kingdom parliament. * Órfhlaith Foyle, Irish author. * Órlaith íngen Cennétig, Queen of Ireland, died 941 (executed). * Órlaith Ní Maoil Seachnaill, Queen of Midhe, died 1066. * Órlaith Nic Cennétich, died 1104. * Órlaith Ní Mael Sechlainn, Queen of Connacht, died 1115. * Órlaith Ní Diarmata ...

Orla (name)
Órla, Orlaith, Orla or Orlagh (pronounced OR-lah) is a given name of Celtic origin. The root form of the name is ''Órfhlaith'', interpretable as "golden princess" as it combines the Gaelic elements ''ór'' ("gold") and ''fhlaith'' (literally "prince"), its full feminine form being ''banfhlaith''. Well known via association with Brian Boru, whose sister Órlaith íngen Cennétig (d. 941) was queen consort to the Irish High King Donnchad Donn, Órflaith (however spelled) was the fourth-most frequently recorded female name in the annals of 12th century Ireland; after a long period of obscurity, the name—in both the Órlaith and Órla forms—became popular in the late 20th century, not only in Ireland but also in Scotland, despite the name not having a Scottish heritage. It is quite common, even in Ireland, to see the name written as ''Orla'' without the vowel-lengthening fada accent on the "o". Orla is also a male given name in the Danish language and has been used as a u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

West Tyrone is a parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom House of Commons. The current MP for the constituency is Órfhlaith Begley of Sinn Féin. Constituency profile The seat is rural and includes the towns of Strabane and Omagh. Boundaries Since the constituency's creation in 1997, it has consisted of the territory of the former Districts of Omagh and Strabane. There were major local government boundary changes in 2015, but the constituency boundaries remained unchanged.

Queen Regnant
A queen regnant (plural: queens regnant) is a female monarch, equivalent in rank and title to a king, who reigns ''suo jure'' (in her own right) over a realm known as a "kingdom"; as opposed to a queen consort, who is the wife of a reigning king; or a queen regent, who is the guardian of a child monarch and rules '' pro tempore'' in the child's stead, be it in sharing power or in ruling alone. She is sometimes called a woman king. A princess regnant is a female monarch who reigns ''suo jure'' over a " principality"; an empress regnant is a female monarch who reigns ''suo jure'' over an "empire". A queen regnant possesses and exercises sovereign powers, whereas a queen consort or queen regent shares her spouse's and/or child's rank and titles but does not share the sovereignty of her spouse or child. The husband of a queen regnant traditionally does not share the queen regnant's rank, title, or sovereignty. However, the concept of a king consort or prince consort is not ...
