[Facts] Re: Pronounciation of Tóirneach
Hi!I'm not sure but I think the pronunciation is 'TEER-nahch' (the ch at the end pronounced like in "loch" or German "Bach".I found a different meaning though. It's a form of the Irish name "Tiarnach" which comes from the Old Irish name "Tigernach" meaning "lord, superior, chief".Regards, Satu

Tóirneach is not the same as Tiarnach...Completely different things. Tiarnach would be pornounced tcharnach.Tóirneach would be more like tornyach. It's the Irish word for thunder.
