Hello All- I have 2 daughters named Annie and Harper and I am looking for someone who has expertise In early Gaelic. I’d love to see what there names would have looked like in ancient Gaelic. I'm looking to surprise them with a present showing their name either in art or carving. My family is originally from Clonmany. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Chris
The name Annie in the Irish language is Áine while the name Harper is translated as Harpúr although I never heard of the name Harper as a first name growing up, it really only became known when the Beckham's named their child. Áine on the other hand was a popular name .
Hi, I think this is what you mean.

I just did Harper.

Thank you both. I did mean Ogham and I was able to find that translator site. Big next question is whether I would type in Aine and Harpur which Eileen noted is the correct in the Irish Language versus Annie and Harper. I think from what I've read is that the correct Ogham translation would be from Irish to Ogham? Does that sound about right?
Ogham was used thousands of years ago.
Ann means Grace
Aine means Radiance.
Harper/ur ?
