GUEST,Eamonn Shanahan	Spanish Influence in West Ireland (107* d)	RE: Spanish Influence in West Ireland	26 Apr 09
"One simple point, we have historical surnames in Ireland from Scandinavia, France, Britain and Flanders etc. but none from Spain or Portugal." Current Irish naming convention came into being during the reign of Brian Boru roughly 1,000 years ago. Names such as "Mc", Mac, or "O" all mean "son of". The last wave of the Danites came 1,000 years earlier and were related to the Halstadt Celts from France, Belgium and Germany. They were also realted to The DANes or the "ScanDANavians" you mentioned. See a pattern?
