About the Author
D. J. Conway, well versed in Celtic culture, has written more than twenty books, most recently Celtic Magic, which sold over 160,000 copies. She lives in Roseburgh, Oregon.
From Library Journal
Conway, who has written numerous books on Celtic topics (e.g., Celtic Magic, Llewellyn, 1990) features traditional names from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales but not Cornwall, the Isle of Man, or Brittany. The book is arranged alphabetically by first names, surnames, and names associated with myths and legends, and the introduction provides a succinct history of the Celts. Interestingly, many first names have become surnames, especially in Ireland and Scotland. For example, O'Brien means "son of Brien" and mac Cumail refers to the son of Cumail. Correct pronunciation for personal names is given where spelling differs from pronunciation, but there are times when pronunciation is impossible to determine. Accent marks are highlighted as well. Conway suggests that readers use a dependable Gaelic dictionary for the Celtic country of choice. This is a good reference source, complete with bibliography and snippets of history sprinkled throughout. Celtic descendants living in North America should like this title; a less comprehensive choice is Loreto Todd's Celtic Names for Children (Irish American, 1998).ALarry R. Little, Penticton P.L., BC
