Does anybody know what the name Rourke means? I know somebody with this name, a boy, I'm not sure of his ethnic background, I think maybe Irish. I checked this website, and it doesn't have it, only a link to Rurik.

Ruarc is a Goidelic name (Irish principally, but also potentially Scots or Manx), but definitely not a Brittonic name (Welsh, Cornish or Breton).Pedantic? Moi?
