A History of Irish Surnames: Is Yours Here? – Ancestry Blog The earliest known Irish surname is O’Clery (O Cleirigh); it’s the earliest known because it was written that the lord of Aidhne, Tigherneach Ua Cleirigh, died in County Galway back in the year 916 A.D. In fact, that Irish name may actually be the earliest surname recorded in all of Europe. Until about the 10th century in Ireland, surnames were not passed down from generation to generation. Instead, surnames were patronymic, or based on someone’s father’s name. A person was identified by his given name plus “mac,” meaning “son of,” followed by his father’s name. For instance, Brian mac Colum was Brian, son of Colum. The female form of “mac” is “nic,” shortened from the Irish iníon mhic. Alternatively, the prefix “o” was sometimes used in place of “mac” and meant “grandson of” or “descended from.” There were no fixed surnames, so a surname changed every generation or two. But even without hereditary surnames, those names still hold clues. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. — Leslie Lang

Failing Tolkien: The Fall of High Fantasy Update: I wrote a follow-up to this piece: Further Thoughts on World Building Cover illustration for Words of Radiance I just finished reading Brandon Sanderson’s monstrous tome: Words of Radiance . I’ve never liked high fantasy taken as a genre, but I did love The Lord of the Rings (which launched the genre) and I am enjoying Sanderson’s Stormlight Archives. High fantasy, if you’re not familiar with the term, refers to the kinds of fantasy books that have maps in them. Tolkien’s own cover illustration for The Fellowship of the Ring. For all practical purposes, Tolkien invented high fantasy. The problem is that they have all learned the wrong lesson. To correct this confusion we must start with the realization that Tolkien’s world-building was inextricable from his religious faith. ‘Sub-creation’ was also used by J.R.R. As we delve deeper into Tolkien’s theory of sub-creation, it is useful to contrast his view with that of his friend C. For Downing, this is a point against Tolkien.
