Irish Gaelic Man with Clan Affiliation Byname

Name with Clan Affiliation for an Irish Gaelic Man

An Irish Gaelic man could use two different kinds of bynames (surnames) in his name. The kind created by this generator — a clan affiliation byname — indicated what clan he belonged to, which would be the same clan as his father's clan.

To create an Irish Gaelic name for a man using his clan affiliation, select a given name (first name) for him from the pop up list on the left and a clan affiliation (should be his father's) from the pop up list on the right, below. That's all there is to it -- the correct grammatical changes have already been made to his clan affiliation.
