I don't know the original origins of our names, but I do know that my name and my daughters' names are French, judging by the number of times I have been asked whether I am French!

My name is ancient, but has Celtic origin, could be considered Gaelic by some but is earlier from what I have read.
DC Gaelic and one Pictish as far as I know.
DH Irish Gaelic (he is Irish, I am Scottish).
