Help[Facts] Re: the name molly -origins
in reply to a message by Llewella
Yes, that.
The similarity of some letters/sounds between Molly and maol/mael is a pure coincidence. This type of coincidences is what originated a lot of wrong equivalences between English names and Irish names (Sara/Sorcha, Charles/Cathal...).
