My family motto in Latin is "Vivit post funerus virtus" In English, it is "vitue lives on after death." Now, being that my family is Irish, I feel it would be better to know it as gaeilge... as it should be. Any help would be great. I'm nervous doing it my own with dictionaries and messing it up. Thank you so much for your help! |

I would tentatively offer "is treise suáilce ná bás" ('virtue is stronger than death') or "maireann suáilce go deo/thar na glúnta" ('virtue lasts forever/over generations'). Perhaps other members can suggest improvemens/more appropriate translations.
PS. Depending on what you mean by 'virtue', you might also want to consider such alternatives as 'carthanacht' (charity/good works), 'anam uasal' ('noble soul/heart'), etc. Good luck! |
