in reply to a message by Mary
KEELAN f,m Irish
Anglicized form of CAOILFHIONN, sometimes used as a masculine name.
CAOILFHIONN f Irish
Pronounced: KEE-lin
Derived from the Gaelic elements caol "slender" and fionn "fair". This was the name of several Irish saints.
ALINA (1) f Arabic
Means "noble" in Arabic.
ALINA (2) f German, Polish
Pet form of ADELINA and names that end in alina.
Stef answered the question about Maddock, but she got the origin slightly wrong (just slightly though). Madog is a variation of Madoc. Madoc does mean "fortunate" in Welsh. I believe Maddox comes from Madoc as well.
You could've simply searched for these names in the search box on the main page of Behind the Name. Maddock wouldn't have shown up because it isn't in the database, but Madog does show up. Madog is linked to Madoc.
