The 148 first names and 37 family names are taken from Fockleyr Gaelg-Baarl / Dictionary Manx-English (1993) by Phil Kelly which is still available online on the archived gaelg.iofm.net site. It is also available to purchase at bookshops on the Island.
If you are looking to use one of the names from the list below e.g. as a baby name, you might like to double-check elsewhere to make sure it is correct and also, with some names, there are more recent (and quite nice) variations.
William Cubbon researched Manx names and published his work in 1923, a copy of which is here.
Manx National Heritage also published a leaflet which includes name meanings and this can be found here.
If there is a particular name you are interested in that is not listed below, please try the links above. If you are researching Manx family names try 1) Leslie Quilliam’s book ‘Surnames of the Manks’ 2) ‘Manx Names’ by AW Moore and 3) ‘Surnames and Place-Names of the Isle of Man’ by AW Moore.
