Re: Fianaid
in reply to a message by Billykin
It means “little deer” in Irish/Gaelic. It is sometimes confused with Fianna which is associated with the Irish warrior clan “Fionn and the Fianna” who strives to run, hunt and jump etc. like deer. It is pronounced fee-ah-nah, but I personally pronounce it Fay-nah which is basically the same pronunciation sped up with a less southern Irish lilt.
