| I've seen Sin�ad usually Anglicized to be Janet.
Is Sin�ad a native Gaelic name? Or is it translated from English?
|

| Sinead means Joan or any derivitive of that name
Ceara - I have never heard of, maybe you mean Ciara (pronounced
key-a-ra) but I don't know what that means

Thank you all for your responses. I'm asking for a friend of mine
who wants to name her baby...
This is the tally so far:
Sinead.......Janet
Joan
Jennifer
Ciara.......Irish meaning Friend
I thought Shiobhan meant Joan.

| By my recollection Siobhan (with a ' over the A in the spelling) is the
Irish translation for JANE .

| I thought Sinead = Jane, Siobhan = Joan.
Maybe Ceara is somehow related to Keiran.

Mary,
I have a daughter called Sin�ad. From a book of Irish names, I learned
that Sin�ad is the Gaelic for Janet. Sin� is the Gaelic for Jane.

| Denis,
Thanks for the info....have learned that Sorcha is Sarah
in Gaelic...would you know how to pronounce it?
Mary
|
| 1067.12 | | CLADA::DODONNELL | Denis | Tue Jun 09 1992 12:51 | 3 |
|
Mary, Sorcha is indeed the Irish for Sarah.
The pronounciation is Sur-a-ka, at least around my neck of the woods.

| Can one of you get out your little red book of Irish Names and tell me
what the name Fiona means.
A girl I met on Sunday is called Fiona and because I'm Irish she
assumed that I'd know what her name meant.
|
| 1067.14 | | VYGER::RENNISONM | Spherical - and in the plural | Tue Aug 03 1993 07:16 | 5 |
| Ermm, Fiona is actually a Scottish name. It means "fair-one". I know 'cos
my wife is called Fiona.
Hope that helps,
Mark.
|

mean fair-one.
