ArchivesRe: question about my name.
in reply to a message by Kyle £.
"I have looked almost every where but i havent gotten a strait answer for my name."
Heheh, here's a "strait" answer for you. Although some sources claim that your name means "a church or chapel", more authoritative sources (such as Hanks & Hodges) give the same meaning as can be found on this website by clicking on the blue link for Kyle.

Gaelic is the pre-English language spoken traditionally in northern and western Scotland (the Highlands). It's closely related to (and most think derived from) Irish, still the official language of Ireland.
Gaelic was spoken in much of the rest of Scotland as well, but replaced in those areas by Scots (simplistically an English/Gaelic mix, but a full language in its own right) and later English as the everyday spoken tongue starting as much as 800 years ago.
Only about 50,000 native Gaelic speakers (1% of the population) remain in Scotland, but the language, after nearly dying out, is experiencing an upsurge of interest by Scots and others who are studying it.
Gaelic is a beautiful language in the way it is spoken and written, but is fairly tough to learn partially because the spelling doesn't correspond well to the way words are pronounced.

Two sites to try out...

Click on either http://www.irishmilwaukee.com or http://www.yourDictionary.com . Either one can help you find out more about Gaelic (both Scots Gaelic and Irish Gaelic, although the Conradh na Gaelige site is more about Irish Gaelic and yourDictionary has site that are mainly Scots Gaelic or Irish Gaelic).
