I know about CúChuillin, but what was Sentanta's name in Irish?

Tá ainm an Chúchullana agam, but cad tá an t-ainm air (nuair a bhí sé óg) i nGaeilg?

There once was a young man named Setanta. One day, he hit his sliotar down a dog's throat. The owner of the dog was Culann. From then on, he had to take upon himself the duties of the dog (i.e. guard the property). From then on, he was called Cú Chulainn (i.e. Culann's Hound).

CúChuillin

Cú Chulainn an t-ainm atá air i nGaeilge ("hound of Culann).

SétantaSetanta a bhí air roimhe sin. Nílimid cinnte faoin síneadh fada. Bhí snáithe fada ar an gceist seo ar an liosta Old-Irish-L dhá bhliain ó shin. Féach Se(/)tanta, September 2004 & October 2004 ag:

Here's an out-take from toward the end of the discussion, from David Stifter (University of Vienna):

> In any case, at this point which would you rather see as the
> Modern Irish continuation of the name: Séadanta or Seadanta?

Maybe rather "Séadanta", if only on account of the MidIr (folk-)etymology of the name.

Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar.

Thanx, lads.

I was confused about the name, as I did see Séadanta

"MidIr (folk-)etymology of the name" So, around 1000 years ago people reanalysed the name from text and that is where Séadanta came about ?
