Hi, I would like to get my Kid's names translated to Gaelic? Would anyone mind helping me? Iv'e been trying for ages.
My son's name is Declan and my daughter's name is Isla
Thank you so much!
Declan is a Gaelic name already. It is used more in Ireland than Scotland, in my experience, and the Irish form of the name is
Déaglán. With the usual differences between Irish and Scottish Gaelic spelling, I suspect that the Scottish spelling would be
Deuglàn or
Deaglàn, but I'm not certain of that.
I've never seen Isla as a given name. I assume that it is drawn from the name of one of the Hebrides islands off the west coast of Scotland, though the island's name is spelled
Islay in English. The Scottish Gaelic form of the name is
Ìle, and it is pronounced "EYE-luh" (whether in English or Gaelic). The origin of the name is unknown, and it may be pre-Celtic. If you just want a phonetic way to spell the name Isla in Irish or Scottish Gaelic, then you could use
Iosla in either language.
