De-Anglicisation of Names

I haven't looked throught the entire thread, so I'm not sure if you have done this one, but here it is: Kane

It's supposedly means "son of a warrior," but I think that's somewhat of a loose translation, the name derives from the gaelic word for war, I think it was "cahan," though I'm not quite sure. Was this angelicised?

KANE This is anglicised from the Irish Ó Catháin (pronounced O CA-HAUN). It means descended from Cathán, a personal name meaning little warrior.
