ArchivesRe: Anglicizations of Irish names
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
Not sure I understand your question; anglicised names like Rory, Maeve, or Neve simply reflect pronunciation using English phonetics. They do not reflect the spelling of the original names at all.
Patrick comes from latin Latin Patricius; Padraig is the Irish version of the name.
Alexandrina, Annabella, Clementine, Charlotte, Emilienne, Florence, Frederica, Katharina, Mary (May), Maud, Penelope, Rosamund, Theodora (Teddy).
Aubrey, Axel, Benedict, Bertrand (Bertie), Cuthbert, Dashiell, Everard, John (Jack) Leopold (Leo), Magnus, Matthias, Maximilian (Max), Wilfred.
