Raghnall Mac Gofraidh
''Ragnall'', ''Raghnall'', ''Raonall'', and ''Raonull'' are masculine personal names or given names in several Gaelic languages. ''Ragnall'' occurs in Old Irish, and Middle Irish/ Middle Gaelic. It is a Gaelicised form of the Old Norse '' Røgnvaldr'', ''Rǫgnvaldr'', ''Rögnvaldr''. This Old Norse name is composed of two elements: ''regin'', meaning "(German) Gods"; and ''valr'', meaning "powerful". It has also been suggested that ''Ragnall'' could also represent the Old Norse ''Ragnarr'' as well. ''Ragnall'' can be Anglicised as '' Ranald'' and ''Ronald'', and Latinised as '' Reginald'', ''Reginaldus''. The modern spelling is ''Raghnall'' in Scottish Gaelic and either ''Raghnall'' or ''Raonull'' in Irish. Anglicised forms of ''Raghnall'' include: '' Ranald'', ''Rannal'', and ''Ronald''.

Gaelic Type
Gaelic type (sometimes called Irish character, Irish type, or Gaelic script) is a family of Insular script typefaces devised for printing Classical Gaelic. It was widely used from the 16th until the mid-18th century (Scotland) or the mid-20th century (Ireland) but is now rarely used. Sometimes, all Gaelic typefaces are called ''Celtic'' or '' uncial'' although most Gaelic types are not uncials. The "Anglo-Saxon" types of the 17th century are included in this category because both the Anglo-Saxon types and the Gaelic/Irish types derive from the insular manuscript hand. The terms ''Gaelic type'', ''Gaelic script'' and ''Irish character'' translate the Irish phrase (). In Ireland, the term is used in opposition to the term , Roman type. The Scottish Gaelic term is (). (–1770) was one of the last Scottish writers with the ability to write in this script, but his main work, , was published in the Roman script.
