ArchivesRe: Does anyone know what this name means??
in reply to a message by Jennifer
Well, actually, it also means descendent of the keeper of the hounds (which is much more rock'n'roll, and pretty much what I tell everyone)
It was first given to Madaghain (d.1008), of the tribe Hy-Many, from Ireland. It's etymology suggests that it is pre-Gaelic, one of a small number of names that can be traced to the people that inhabited Ireland before the Gael (a very long time ago)
