These were not included on any of the web sites listed. I need to learn to pronounce: Cead Mile Failte and Erin Go Braugh! |

Thanks - great page. This was a big help. By the way, is "Sionna" pronounced "SHAW - NA" in Gaelic? (My name in the States is Shannon and my understanding is that Sionna is the Gaelic version.) |

Actually, Sionna doesn't mean anything in Irish. The first thing I thought of when I saw it was "sionnach", which means "fox". The River Shannon is "An tSionainn". Nevertheless, Sionna has a nice feel to it, and would be pronounced SHOO-nuh (oo as in "book") or SHIH-nuh, or somewhere in between. |
