Show Notes
Surnames, a relatively recent invention, are done differently from language to language. In Irish, conventions exist to include gender and marital status identifiers in female surnames, but choices are still available. Darach talks (but mostly listens) to SiĂșn, Ăimear and GearĂłidĂn about how this quirk of the language and how it dovetails with attitudes to Irish names â and womenâs names â in general. --- Contact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at [email protected].
