Names from Celtic tradition

Names rooted in Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and Gaelic heritage — mystical, lyrical, and deeply storied.

Celtic names carry an unmistakable sound: soft consonants, open vowels, a sense of landscape and legend woven into every syllable. Whether you have Irish, Scottish, or Welsh roots — or simply love the way these names feel — this collection draws from the oldest naming traditions in the British Isles. Many have Gaelic spellings alongside Anglicized forms.
