De-Anglicisation of Names

[slohairt]

OK, I will now have my Nickname worked over, please

Wolfhawk
or
Hawk

Wolfhawk:

IRISH Faolchú-Seabhac (pronounced FAIL-KHOO-SHA-WACK)
SCOTTISH GAELIC Faolchu-Seabhag (as above, basically)

Faolchú literally means 'wild hound'. Mac tíre is another Irish name for 'wolf'. It means 'son of the land', which is interesting considering the usual scorn heaped upon the wolf during European history.

Seabhac is a bit of a catch-all term for falcons, hawks, etc.
