Walsh (surname)
Walsh () is a common Irish surname, meaning " Briton" or "foreigner" (literally "Welshman" or "Wales"), taken to Ireland by soldiers from Britain, namely Welsh, Cambro-Norman, Cornish and Cumbrian soldiers during and after the Norman invasion of Ireland. It is the fourth most common surname in Ireland, and the 265th most common in the United States. There are variants including "Walshe", “ Welch”, "Welsh", and "Brannagh" (an anglicisation of the Irish form). Walsh is uncommon as a given name.

Walsh Convention
:''See the Glossary of contract bridge terms for an explanation of unfamiliar words or phrases.'' Walsh is a convention used in the card game of bridge in response to an opening bid of 1.
