The House of Finwë and Fëanor, in Irish!

I promise that I don't want this blog to just be filled with rushed name-translations, but I was challenged to have a crack at a few Silmarillion names and spent a little while working through a few. I really like some, some are a little rough. There might be mistakes, I did not spell-check anything. Enjoy.

I should also probably disclaimer that I am not a native Irish speaker, but I am native to Ireland and have Irish, if you catch my meaning.

The House of Finwë | Clann Mongáin

Finwë | Mongán (moing, long hair + -án, masculine suffix)

Míriel | Deirdhil (dear, daughter + dil, precious, valuable, beloved)

Indis | Béfhionn (bé, woman, maiden + fionn, fair)

Fëanor, Minyon, Finwion, Curufinwë | Aodhán (aodh, fire + -án, masculine suffix), Céadghin (céad, first + gin, birth), Mac Mongáin (mac, son + Mongán), Mongán Dánach (Mongán + dán, skill, gift, art + -ach, adjectival suffix)

Findis | Béibhinn (bé, woman, maiden + binn, sweet)

Fingolfin | Mongán Suadhach (Mongán + suadh, var. of saoi, wise man + -ach, adjectival suffix)

Írimë | Caoimhe (caoimhe, loveliness)

Finarfin | Mongán Flaithiúil (Mongán + flaith, prince, ruler, noble + -úil, adjectival suffix)

The House of Fëanor | Clann Aodháin

Maedhros | Ruabharr (rua, rust-coloured, red-haired + barr, top, head, hair)

Maglor | Ealatha (ealatha, acquired craft, poetic art, minstrelry)

Celegorm | Baothghalach (baoth, animalistic, foolish, vain + gal, valour + -ach, adjectival suffix)

Caranthir | Dearg-eineach (dearg, crimson, red + eineach, face)

Curufin, Atarinkë | Mongán Dánach Óg (Mongán Dánach + óg, young, junior), Athairín (*athair*, father + *-ín*, diminutive suffix)

Amrod | Mongán Beag (Mongán + beag, small)

Amras | Mongán Déanach (Mongán + déanach, latest, last)

House of the Dragon, in Irish

I tried my hand at translating some of the names and titles from House of the Dragon Episode 1 into Irish. It was hell. But fun! This list is formatted in terms of the normal English name, then the Irish, then the literal translation of the Irish. I tried my best. Sort-of. Any names that I could grab from the translation of A Game of Thrones, I did. House of the Dragon | Muintir na Draige | Family of the Dragon

King Viserys Targaryen | an Rí Viosaeras Tairgéirian | the King Viserys Targaryen

Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the Queen Who Never Was | an Banphrionsa Raenas Tairgéirian, an Bhanríon Gan Réimeas | the Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the Queen Without a Reign

Mysaria, Misery, the White Worm | Miosairín, Mí-shárú, an Phéist Bhán | Mysaria, Evil-violation, the White Worm (ok I tried hard to preserve the Misery pun)

Ser Criston Cole, the Kingmaker | an Ridire Criostún Mac Cumhaill, Déantóir Rí | the Knight Criston McCool, Maker of a King

Lord Otto Hightower, Hand of the King | an Tiarna Otó Ó hArdtúir, Lámh an Rí | the Lord Otto O’Hightower, Hand of the King

Lady Alicent Hightower | an Bantiarna Ailís Ní Ardtúir | the Lady Allison O’Hightower

Ser Harrold Westerling, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard | an Ridire Aralt Ó hIartharaigh, Tiarna Cheannasaí Gharda an Rí | the Knight Harold O’Westerman, Lord Commander of the Guard of the King

Lyman Beesbury, Lord of Honeyholt, Master of Coin | Lamhán Ó Beacháin, Tiarna Choill na Meala, Máistir an Airgid | Lavan O’Behan (Lordly-one Little-Bee), Lord of the Woods of Honey, Master of Money
