[edit] Gàidhlig
"Where a person’s mother is a native married to an outsider, he may be named after her, e.g. “Domhnall Ciorstan” (Kirsten’s Donald)." "...“Iain Mhurchaidh Dhomhnaill Alasdair”! This means “John [son of] Murdo [son of] Donald [son of] Alistair”, a patronymic."
Shouldn't “Domhnall Ciorstan” also lenite, to “Domhnall Chiorstan”? - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 20:02, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
