I'm planning on getting a tattoo, and would very much appreciate the correct translation into Irish Gaelic for "Celtic Pride", or maybe "Irish Pride". Thank you all very much!

A quick follow-up: I searched the forum to see if anyone had already posted a request for this phrase, if I missed it, I apologize. Also, if there is any differences in dialect, my preference would be Connacht. Thank you!

Bród Gaelach can mean ‘Gaelic pride’ or ‘Irish pride’.

Bród Ceilteach would mean ‘Celtic pride’, but it sounds better with Gaelach, I think.

Always wait for at least three people to agree on a translation, especially if it’s for something permanent.

My translations are usually GU (Ulster Irish), unless CO (Standard Orthography) is requested.

I can second both of those. I can also confirm they are also good in Connacht dialect.


Just as an option, the word práinn might also work, though I think bród fits the context better. In that case, they would be Práinn Ghaelach and Práinn Cheilteach, respectively.

Thank you both very much!

Just out of curiosity, how different would "Proud to be Irish" be?

Perhaps something like..

Bród as bheith Gaelach ~ "Proud to be Irish"

Please wait for comments, corrections, etc..

I think bród needs to be bródúil there, pennyrat:

Bródúil as a bheith Gaelach

Grma, a Bhreandáin. Would that be more like "Pride in being Irish", where my attempt is more like "Proud to be Irish"? Is my attempt incorrect then?

The other way around.

Bród as (a) bheith Gaelach "Pride in being Irish"

Bródúil as a bheith Gaelach "Proud to be Irish"


Bród is the noun "pride".

Bródúil is the adjective "proud".

You can also say

Bród na nGael (the Gaels' pride)

Bród na gCeilteach (the Celts' pride)
