Gaelic Languages
The Goidelic or Gaelic languages ( ga, teangacha Gaelacha; gd, cànanan Goidhealach; gv, çhengaghyn Gaelgagh) form one of the two groups of Insular Celtic languages, the other being the Brittonic languages. Goidelic languages historically formed a dialect continuum stretching from Ireland through the Isle of Man to Scotland. There are three modern Goidelic languages: Irish ('), Scottish Gaelic ('), and Manx ('). Manx died out as a first language in the 20th century but has since been revived to some degree. Nomenclature ''Gaelic'', by itself, is sometimes used to refer to Scottish Gaelic, especially in Scotland, and so it is ambiguous. Irish and Manx are sometimes referred to as Irish Gaelic and Manx Gaelic (as they are Goidelic or Gaelic languages), but the use of the word "Gaelic" is unnecessary because the terms Irish and Manx, when used to denote languages, always refer to those languages. This is in contrast to Scottish Gaelic, for which "Gaelic" distinguishes the l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gilla Críst Ua Máel Eóin
Gilla Críst Ua Máel Eóin (anglicised as Christian Malone; died 1127) was an Irish historian and Abbot of Clonmacnoise. Family background Ó Maoil Eoin (now anglicised as Malone), denotes descent from a grandson of a person baptised in honour of Saint John. This assumption was introduced long after Maol Eoin had lived. It was contrived to demonstrate a long-standing association with the Church. As such "maol" is often described as meaning bald and then quickly followed by the idea of a monks shaved head. While "maol" does mean bald it also can mean thin. However, in both cases it is used in reference with the landscape; bald might mean lacking in trees, and thin might mean a peninsula or island. It defines a feature of the landscape that is associated with the family. The use of maol, in a family name, is found recorded some 200 years before Maol Eoin was born. Maolrunaigh (Mulrooney)was a past family name that was passed down, mostly in part, through the generations. This wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gilla Críst Ua Mocháin
Gilla Críst Ua Mocháin was an Irish craftsman, fl. 1120s. Background Gilla Críst Ua Mocháin was a member of a Connacht family who "were a prominent Connacht ecclesiastical family".Bhreathnach, 2005, p. 378 There were two apparently distinct families: one were natives of the diocese of Kilmacduagh, apparently from the vicinity of Ballyvaughan (Baile Uí Bheacháin); another were of ''Cill Athracht, taobh le Loch Gara i County Sligo.'' Two other unrelated families of the name, natives of what are now County Donegal and County Monaghan. The Annals of Connacht mentions members of the family, ''sub anno'' 1361, 1392, 1414, 1460, 1470–71. The name is now variously rendered as Maughan, Moghan, Mohan, and Moughan, and found mainly in County Galway and County Mayo.

Gille Críst, Earl Of Angus
Gille Críst, Earl of Angus ruled until 1206 as Mormaer of Angus. He was a son of Gille Brigte of Angus and younger brother of Adam of Angus. Almost nothing is known of him except that he married Marjorie of Huntingdon, the daughter of Henry of Scotland and Ada de Warenne, and that he was succeeded by his son Donnchad before 1206. His daughter Bethóc (Beatrix) was married to Walter Stewart, 3rd High Steward of Scotland and was mother to Alexander Stewart, 4th High Steward of Scotland. It is claimed that Marjorie of Huntingdon married secondly (as his second wife), Sir William de Lindsay of Luffness and Crawford (born c. 1148 – died c. 1200), but such a marriage did not occur. Gille Críst, Earl of Angus and Marjorie of Huntingdon were ancestors of Robert I (known as Robert the Bruce), King of Scots (b. 11 July 1274 - d. 7 June 1329).According to Beryl Platts, ''Scottish Hazzards'', vols. 1, 2, 4 & 5 (the Procter Press, 1985); the author states that Sir William de Lindsay bo ...

Gille Críst, Earl Of Menteith
Gille Críst is the first known Mormaer (in Scotland, a regional or provincial ruler, equivalent to Latin ''comes'', French '' comte'' and English ''earl'') of Menteith, but almost certainly not actually the first. He is named in a charter of King Máel Coluim IV, dated to 1164, regarding the restoration of Scone Priory, which had recently been destroyed by fire. He appears again in a charter of King William the Lion, dated 1175x1178, as one of the witnesses to a grant of privileges to the newly established burgh of Glasgow. Gille Críst had two known sons, Muireadhach Mór and Muireadhach Óg. He also had a daughter, Éua, who married Ailín II, Earl of Lennox. Gille Críst had died by 1189/1198, when Muireadhach Mór appears as Mormaer for the first time.

Gille Críst, Earl Of Mar
Gille Críst of Mar is the fourth-known Mormaer of Mar, from 1183 to 1203. His relationship to the previous Mormaer, Morggán, is not totally clear, but Gille Críst was not the son of Morggán, and so his succession could probably be explained by operations of Gaelic succession, but scholars know almost nothing about the internal functions of Mar in this period. He had two sons, Máel Coluim and Eoin. He also had a daughter, whose name is unknown. Her importance though is high, because she married Máel Coluim of Lundie, and their son Thomas Durward eventually contested the inheritance of Mar by the line of Morggán. His wife was Orabilis, a daughter of Ness fitzWilliam, Lord of Leuchars. Her marriage to Gille was her third. She had previously been married to Robert de Quincy, Constable of Leinster, and, secondly, Adam, the son of Duncan I, Earl of Fife.{{Cite web, title=Ness, son of William, lord of Leuchars (d.1178×83), url=https://www.poms.ac.uk/record/person/4, url-stat ...

Gilchrist (surname)
Gilchrist is a surname of Gaelic language origins. In many cases it is derived from a Scottish Gaelic name, ''Gille Chrìost'', ''Gille Chriosd'', meaning "servant of Christ" (i.e. ''gilla'' "servant", ''chriosd'' "Christ"). Surnames of similar origins include MacGilchrist and McGilchrist, which are usually derived from ''Mac Giolla Chriosd'' or, literally, "son of the servant of Christ". Early, semi-anglicised versions of the surname, recorded include Geilchreist, Gilchryst, Gillchreist, Gillcryst, Mcillchreist and Mylchrest. In many, perhaps most, cases, people with these surnames are descendants of the Scottish Clan Gilchrist, a sept of Clan MacLachlan.
