Draft in Progress Edition

Last updated 29 Jun 2007

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

This is a draft edition! It is very incomplete! See the first part of this article. You have been warned!

See the Introduction for an explanation of what is contained in this article.

In the tables below, all Gaelic spellings are normalized; the first column gives early medieval spellings (roughly pre-1200) and the middle column gives late medieval spellings (roughly post-1200). A question mark, ?, after a name indicates it is a speculative Scottish Gaelic spelling and parentheses, ( ), around a name indicates it is a non-Gaelic spelling (e.g., Scots or Latin). An X in a column indicates there is at least one known example of the name used for a Scottish Gael in the century indicated at the top of that column. An asterisk, *, in a column indicates the same thing except that the evidence has not yet been included in the entry for that name.

See the full entry for a name for further information and specifics about evidence, forms, and years used.
