What makes a name Irish?

Irish names blend soft, musical given names — many from the Irish language (Saoirse, Cian, Niamh, Conor) — with classic O' and Mac surnames meaning 'descendant of' or 'son of' (O'Brien, Murphy, Kelly). The spellings can look surprising to outsiders but flow beautifully when spoken. The vibe is warm, lyrical, and steeped in Gaelic heritage.
