Irish Baby Names
There's a reason Liam has been the most popular boy's name in America for years: Irish names have a magnetic pull. Born from Gaelic language and Celtic mythology, they carry meanings of courage, beauty, and deep spiritual connection to the natural world. Even names that look unfamiliar at first — Saoirse, Cillian, Niamh — reward anyone who learns to say them.
