Meaning & History

Séadna, also Séanna, is an Irish Gaelic personal name known mostly due to the popularity of the book Séadna, by Father Peadar Ua Laoghaire (occasionally known in English as Peter O'Leary), which was published in 1904. The story of Séadna, which concerns a cobbler who makes a deal with the devil, is thought to be an Irish folk tale related to the story of Faust.
