Irish Surname
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 ''Gaeltachtaí'' (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 ...
