Céad Mhíle Fáilte agus Hello Friends

Welcome to my inaugural post here at @irishhistorynerd.

I thought, what better place to start this blog than with Ireland herself, and all of her other names. So indulge me as I show you all the etymology and meaning behind the wonderful names of Ireland.

Starting with the most known,

Ireland: Ireland is made of two parts, 'ire' and 'land.' Ire doesn't come from the english word ire, meaning anger, but the Irish name for the country being Éire (Air-ah). The last three letters were taken and land was added to the end, making Ireland.

But where does Éire come from? Well that'd be from the Old Irish word Ériu, the matron goddess of the land of Ireland.

Éirinn and Éireann are both grammatical forms of Éire.

Erin originates from Éirinn and is notable for being a common poetic way to refer to Ireland. They personified Ireland as a beautiful woman named Erin in their poetry and songs.

Hibernia is another name used for personifying Ireland. The name is the Latin word for Ireland. It comes from the Roman Historians's Tacitus' book 'Agricola.' While Hibernia isn't much used as a name for Ireland anymore, its compound form is more commonly used to mean Ireland or Irish, e.g. Hiberno-English means the Irish dialect of english.

The Emerlad Isle, a common epithet for Ireland, first shows up in print in the 1795 poem by William Drennan, 'When Erin First Rose.' It references the beautiful green fields of the Irish countryside.

The Land of Saints and Scholars is another common epithet. Which goes to show the magnitude of influence the catholic church had on ireland. One of the most famous saints in the world, Saint Patrick, is the patron saint of ireland and is mythologically responsible for converting a large nu,ber of people to catholicism and driving evil (the snakes) away from the land. Our scholars date back to the dark ages, where monks would work tirelessly to transcribe copies of text in an age where literacy was at a shocking low. Our tradition of scholars continued on for centuries, with the monks being replaced by great writers and poets such as Padraig Pearse, W. B. Yeats, and James Joyce.

So there we go! the most common names for Éire and her land. I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to follow for more fun Irish knowledge.

And of course I'm only human, if I made any many mistakes please let me know so I can fix them as soon as possible.

Dáiríre? Cén fáth?!

Nach dtuigeann tú go bhfuil an Cumannachas agus an tAontas Sóivéadach uafásach, is Impireacht í seo, ní fhaomhfaidís go deo a leithéid?

Tá súil agam nach bhfuil anseo ach botún agus is ar na Rúisigh atá an milleán. Toisc nach bhfuil sé gnáth.
