[Facts] Looking for an Irish Name. . .
. . .Meaning 'sparrow' or 'little bird' or something along those lines and is not a modern name. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

The Irish word for sparrow is gealbhan (roughly pronounced gahl-van, I think), but it's not used as a name (as far as I know). Gealbhan is a masculine noun, but to me it sounds slightly feminine because "geal" means bright. It always reminds me of the song "Galvanize" (randomly enough).
