Hi. I have looked under several websites for translation of English first names to the Irish. I've had no luck in finding the equivalent of "Justin". I always that it was a popular Irish name. Any help in the translation would greatly appreciated! go raibh maith agat, Bill |

Bill Justin, Justine These names are from the Latin justus, meaning "just." They are not translatable into Irish. alec |

'Saorbhreathach' once a popular forename amongst the Mac Carthaidh was anglicised as 'Justin'. |

Bill, try http://namenerds.com/irish/irishintro.html They have extensive lists of Irish names, ancient and modern, as well as Irish cognates for English, German, Latin, etc., names, as well as a name forum if the lists don't answer your question. Le meas, Ursula |
