Dermot Kileen
Diarmaid () is a masculine given name in the Irish language, which has historically been anglicized as Jeremiah or Jeremy, names with which it is etymologically unrelated. Earlier forms of the name include Diarmit and Diarmuit. Variations of the name include Diarmait and Diarmuid. Anglicised forms of the name include Dermody, Dermot (, ) and Dermod. Mac Diarmata, anglicised ''McDermott'' and similar, is the patronymic and surname derived from the personal name. The exact etymology of the name is debated. There is a possibility that the name is derived in part from ''dí'', which means "without"; and either from , which means "injunction", or , which means "envy".. The Irish name later spread to Scotland where in Scottish Gaelic the form of the name is ''Diarmad''; Anglicised forms of this name include ''Diarmid'' and ''Dermid''..

Irish Language
Irish ( Standard Irish: ), also known as Gaelic, is a Goidelic language of the Insular Celtic branch of the Celtic language family, which is a part of the Indo-European language family. Irish is indigenous to the island of Ireland and was the population's first language until the 19th century, when English gradually became dominant, particularly in the last decades of the century. Irish is still spoken as a first language in a small number of areas of certain counties such as Cork, Donegal, Galway, and Kerry, as well as smaller areas of counties Mayo, Meath, and Waterford. It is also spoken by a larger group of habitual but non-traditional speakers, mostly in urban areas where the majority are second-language speakers. Daily users in Ireland outside the education system number around 73,000 (1.5%), and the total number of persons (aged 3 and over) who claimed they could speak Irish in April 2016 was 1,761,420, representing 39.8% of respondents.

Since 1995, he has been a fellow of St Cross College, Oxford; he was formerly the senior tutor. Since 1997, he has been Professor of the History of the Church at the University of Oxford.

In 2009 he encapsulated the evolution of his religious beliefs: "I was brought up in the presence of the Bible, and I remember with affection what it was like to hold a dogmatic position on the statements of Christian belief. I would now describe myself as a candid friend of Christianity." MacCulloch sits on the editorial board of the '' Journal of Ecclesiastical History''.

Diarmaid Ó Cúlacháin, Irish historian and scribe, died 1221. Ó Cúlacháin was a native of what is now County Mayo. His precise location within the county is uncertain, though he is associated with two successive coarbs or erenaghs of Aughagower, and Knock, County Mayo. The Annals of Lough Ce give him the following obituary: ''Diarmaid O'Culechain, a professor of history and writing, died in this year, i.e. a man who had more writings and knowledge than any one that came in his own time; and it was he that wrote the Mass book of Cnoc, and another Mass book the equal of it for Diarmaid Mac Oirechtaigh, his tutor, and for Gillapatraic, his foster-brother — the comarbs of Achadh-Fabhair in succession.''

Diarmaid Ó Máille (Dermot O'Malley), Gaelic- Irish Lord and Chief of the Name, died 1415. Ó Máille was a member of the O'Malley family of Clew Bay in what is now County Mayo, Ireland. The Annals of the Four Masters The ''Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland'' ( ga, Annála Ríoghachta Éireann) or the ''Annals of the Four Masters'' (''Annála na gCeithre Máistrí'') are chronicles of medieval Irish history.

Diarmaid Mac Tadgh Ua Ceallaigh
Diarmaid mac Tadgh Ua Ceallaigh, 38th King of Uí Maine and 3rd Chief of the Name, died 1065. Biography Upon the death of Concobar mac Tadg Ua Cellaig, a succession dispute appears to have arisen in the kingdom, with a confused succession. The king listed after Conchabar mac Tadg is simply called "mac Tadhg Ua Cellaigh", that is, "the son of Tadhg Ua Cellaigh." It is not clear which Tadhg this refers; Tadhg Mór Ua Cellaigh was killed at Clontarf in 1014. An entry in the Annals of the Four Masters, ''sub anno'' 1065, identifies him as Diarmaid mac Tadgh Ua Ceallaigh: The plundering of Cluain-mic-Nois by the Conmhaicni and Ui-Maine. Cluain-fearta was plundered by them on the day following. The chiefs who were there were Aedh, son of Niall Ua Ruairc, and Diarmaid, son of Tadhg Ua Ceallaigh, lord of Ui-Maine. Ua Conchobhair (Aedh) came against them, and defeated them, through the miracles of God, Ciaran, and Brenainn, whose churches they had plundered; and a bloody slaughter ...

Diarmaid Ó Seachnasaigh
Diarmaid Ó Seachnasaigh, Irish knight and Chief of the Name, died before 1567. Ó Seachnasaigh was a descendant of Seachnasach mac Donnchadh, himself a descendant of the kings of Uí Fiachrach Aidhne. Successive Ó Seachnasaigh's have ruled the district of Cenél Áeda na hEchtge since at least the 13th century. The clan had been vassals of either the Ó Briain of Thomond or the Burke of Clanricarde, supremacy depending. For over two hundred years Ireland west of the River Shannon had been beyond the pale of the Anglo-Irish administration based in Dublin. From 1533, Henry VIII began integrating them into his realm, knighting Diarmaid Ó Seachnasaigh and representatives of other clans. Henry later evolved this into the policy of Surrender and regrant. Ó Seachnasaigh's submission of 9 June 1543 stated that: ''All the manors, lordshipps, towns and town-lands of Gortynchegory, Dromneyll, Dellyncallan, Ballyhide, Monynean, Ardgossan, Ballyegyn, Kapparell, Clonehaghe, Tollenag ...
