[Facts] Sibeal
Does anyone know how the name Sibeal is pronounced and where it's from? It's a girl's name which I saw in the birth announcements column in The Times today. I've never heard it before, and just wondered about it. I'd hazard a guess that it's Irish or Scottish.Thanks,
Rosemary.

Hi
the name is v.unusual I have been 38 years a sebeail without meeting or hearing of another the spelling varies as it is an old gealic(irish rather than scottish) and the language was oral rather than written for many centuries.I have always been told that it is a derivation of Elizabeth /isabelle/ishbel.Anyway it is alo Sybil as Ceann Sibeal/Sybil's Head is the western most tip of Dingle County
Kerry.Pronunciation is sh bale the gaelic s is pronouced as sh when followed by e as in sean.hope this helpsif you are thinking of using an unusual name for a child it can be character building but can also make then perform up to thier uniqueness!Regards Sebeail
