If you could assist me I'll change my signature.
Is there a Scottish Gaelic word for Chivalry?
as in "Chivalry above all" like a motto.
I wouldn't say they're really incorrect, just a result of the difficulty in translating two unrelated languages.
According to my handy Scottish Gaelic dictionary:
Aidmheil really means profession or persuasion.
Mòralach means greatness or dignity.
Misneach does mean courage, spirit, or fortitude.
The words for 'chivalry' in Irish is cúirtéis or ridireacht. (Pronounced KOORT-AYSH and RID-ER-AKHT) I believe the corresponding Scottish Gaelic word is Cùirteas.
In Irish, I think 'Chivalry above all' would be ridireacht is tábhachtaí. (Pronounced RID-ER-AKHT ISS TAWV-AKHT-EE) Scottish Gaelic differs from Irish dramatically in terms of grammar, so I couldn't even begin to tell you what it would be in that language.
