Academy of Saint Gabriel Report 403

Some of the Academy's early reports contain errors that we haven't yet corrected. Please use it with caution.

Greetings,

You asked about Scots Gaelic names that start with "J" or "S." We weren't able to find many examples of names from this period.

We have to stress that a name is not a phrase. A first name meaning "owner" and a last name meaning "of the black church" does not mean "owner of the black church." Modern names don't work this way, and medieval names didn't either.

We hope this has been helpful, and that we can continue to assist you.

In service,
Alan Fairfax
