Celtic Names

It has been a bad week for blogging, indeed. I did, however, find time for a quick look in Dunkling's The Guinness Book of Names. One heading said "Some Celtic names". It caught my eye. The explanaitions were brief, but interesting. Cameron means "crocked nose", Campbell "crocked mouth" and Kennedy "ugly head". These samples tells us one thing about the Celtic names tradition.
All Celtic names did not come from different problems in the looks though. Some of them, quite naturally had to with where people lived. Craig was a dweller by rocks, Burns a dweller by the stream and Innes on an island.
