The -a on the end of male names used to be common in Anglo-Saxon, and presumably in the earliest versions of Irish Gaelic as well; it faded out in English as a male ending, partly because the pronunciation of final syllables became less distinct and partly because of biblical and Latin names like Maria, Rebecca, Hannah, Helena etc which helped to make the -a ending a female one.
