Can any Irish people out there tell me the proper way to pronounce Cearbhall?

There was a president of Ireland with this name!

My (very) limited knowledge of Scottish Gaelic suggests Ker vil.

I’m Irish and I’ve never heard this name. Where have you gotten the idea for it?

bh together in Irish gives a v sound and the name can be pronounced two ways
Ker vill
or Car vill

Ker val.

I think like this: car ool (pronounce ool as in pool).
