Help[Facts] Re: Understanding Old Irish Names
in reply to a message by Sara Ruth
As far as I know this is how they translate
(1) Welsh not Irish.
Aergul Lawhir son of Trffyn, king of Dyfed
(2)Mes Corp son of Mes Gegra grandson/descendant of ÉREMÓIN
(3) Eochaid Feidlech son of Finn, High king of Ireland
generally if you learn the patronymics - Mac in Gaelic, Ap in Welsh and also Ui or O in Irish meaning descendant, then it helps break up the list and indicate what's a name.
