Mael- prefix in Irish names
I'm collecting Irish names with or derived from the Medieval prefix Mael/Maol- (servant of). So far in my hunts through Medieval name archives I've seen:Mael mhuire
Mael ruanaidh -> Mulroney
Mael eoin -> Malone
Mael duin
Mael mhordha
Mael maolíosa
Mael ruadhain
Mael sechnaill -> Malachy
Mael maedoch -> Malachy
Mael tullaidhAnyone know of other names formed with this prefix? Or modern derivatives?
