McCullough (other)
McCullough is an Irish surname, with two distinct Gaelic origins: * ''Mac Cú Uladh'' which means 'son of Cú Uladh' ('Hound of Ulster'). * ''Mac Cullaich'' 'son of Cullach' ('boar'), usually rendered McCulloch Derivation from the Irish Gaelic ''Mac Cú Uladh'' 'son of the hound of Ulster' is more probable. While Cú Uladh may allude to the legendary Irish figure Cú Chulainn, it was a common given name in medieval Ireland. In Ulster it was often in use by the O'Neills of Clandeboye, the MacMahons of Oriel, the MacCanns, and the MacDonlevy kings of Ulaid.

Gaelic Language
The Goidelic or Gaelic languages ( ga, teangacha Gaelacha; gd, cànanan Goidhealach; gv, çhengaghyn Gaelgagh) form one of the two groups of Insular Celtic languages, the other being the Brittonic languages. Goidelic languages historically formed a dialect continuum stretching from Ireland through the Isle of Man to Scotland. There are three modern Goidelic languages: Irish ('), Scottish Gaelic ('), and Manx ('). Manx died out as a first language in the 20th century but has since been revived to some degree. Nomenclature ''Gaelic'', by itself, is sometimes used to refer to Scottish Gaelic, especially in Scotland, and so it is ambiguous. Irish and Manx are sometimes referred to as Irish Gaelic and Manx Gaelic (as they are Goidelic or Gaelic languages), but the use of the word "Gaelic" is unnecessary because the terms Irish and Manx, when used to denote languages, always refer to those languages. This is in contrast to Scottish Gaelic, for which "Gaelic" distinguishes the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
