The “training” that these top-drawer warriors went through sounds similar to modern-day US Marines. Only the strongest survive. Once their training is complete, they are invincible. Gach do bheatha, na bhFiann!

Tom, I’ve also seen the name as Siobhán. Can you tell me how or if the meaning changes with or without the ‘fada’? Thank you.

I first heard the name Siobhan in the TV series Ringer – the name of the main character. Then I found this site. I was delighted to hear it’s an Irish name and there’s more to it!

There is a place in the Cooley Mountains called Maeve’s Gap and it’s told this is where she passed through with her army. It is a great place for a slightly adventurous walk.

As Irish born and a onetime Gaelic Speaker it does amuse me to see the name John, Seán in Gaelic (Irish) Spelt Sean. Sean in Gaelic means ‘Old’ . The ‘fada’ over the ‘a’ changes the meaning of the word completely.
But perhaps ignorance is indeed blis!!!

What a wonderful site! I was looking for a quick search for Irish girls names and ended up spending over 2 hours roaming through your site and reading the wonder legends and folklores.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience!

It is important to add that after Queen Maeve won the bull, and was brought to her home, The brown bull attacked Ailill’s white bull, and after killing the white bull, the Brown Bull ran all the way back to Ulster and when it got there, it’s heart gave out and it died. In the End, both Ailill and Maeve were equal in possession and neither could say they had more than the other.
