A handy guide to first names with a distinctively Scottish origin or use.
Scottish First Names is the ideal guide for prospective parents seeking a genuinely Scottish forename for their offspring. Concentrating solely on those names of a recognisably Gaelic or Celtic origin, and those with a strong tradition of use north of the border, this attractive little book gives the origins and meanings to over 250 names.
Also included is a pronunciation guide and indicators of noteworthy holders of the names.
Julia Cresswell is an expert on First Names and the author of the best-selling ‘Collins Gem Babies Names’ and a forthcoming book on ‘Scottish First Names’
