[Facts] Understanding Old Irish Names
I've been doing some genealogy research and I've come across names that I don't understand. I'm not familiar with what are (I believe) Irish names and terms for kings, etc. From the list of names that follow, can someone help me identify what parts are first names, surnames, or other terms of address?(1) Aergul Lawhir AP TRFFYN Brenin Ddyfed, also listed as Brenin Ddyfed Aergul Lawhir o Ddyfed(2) Mes Corp mac Mes Gegra UÍ ÉREMÓIN(3) Eochaid Feidlech MAC FINN Ard-rí na h'ÉireannThe websites that I found the names on are listed below. Thank you very much for your help!SaraWebsite for (1): http://celtic-casimir.com/webtree/29/70936.htmWebsite for (2): http://www.celtic-casimir.com/webtree/29/71138.htmWebsite for (3): http://www.celtic-casimir.com/webtree/15/27644.htm
