And I was speaking to some Faro (excuse the spelling) Islanders a while back who still speak a Norse dialect and they said that "igan" means black. So who knows what it really means, but the point was made later on in my little essay that that kinda stuff didn't really matter. What matters is feeling something in your bones after having experiences that justify those links.sean kerriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970038924880869281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060518086937841150.post-57010380872724166932008-08-22T14:41:00.000-07:002008-08-22T14:41:00.000-07:00I knew there was a reason Sean Kerrigan was in a s...I knew there was a reason Sean Kerrigan was in a show of Pacific Island artists!!

The Irish word "sean" (pronounced SHAN) means old - 2 very different words. Note, there are no letters J or V in the Irish alphabet, so S and BH are used instead.<BR/><BR/>The Irish last name Kerrigan is not related to the Norse/Scottish name Kerr - which means marsh. Irish Kerrigan is O'Ciaragain in Gaelic, which is derived from the word "ciar", which means black or dark brown, while "-igan" is a diminutive. So the full name means "little black one".<BR/><BR/>More here:<BR/>http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx/kerrigan-family-crest.htm<BR/><BR/>The Irish for storyteller is "Seanachaí" (pronounced SHA - NA - KEY) and is not related to the name "Seán".pconroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312469574812832771noreply@blogger.com
