My name is Anthony McGuigan, can anyone give the Irish spelling/translation and romanized pronounciation?

Best regards

Anthony McGuigan

I shall give you the form:

Uaithne

for the personal name and shall let some decent soul come along and supply other versions (Antóin, ..) plus rendering the sound for you.

Truthfully Anthony, so as to avoid a mini-thesis on the surname, as it is very complicated, I shall just ask you to get your hands on Robert Matheson's Surnames and Christian Names in Ireland (1901) in reprint and go to page 53 in the second part. Combining the trail from there and your own family history shall bring you to where you want to go.

I would advise you not take any amateur attempt from the net at finding the original of this surname. You may note that professional attempts in the area of surname research have often proved to be dubious.

Le gach dea-ghuí,

S.

So far the translation I have got is Antóin Mag Eocháin or Mag Uiginn. Does that sound right?
