    I know there is a character mentioned by Yeats in his poetry in Irish folklore called Oisin, a male. Rather a love story.

    But the person who has this nickname is a Brazilian woman and I want to know why her nickname would be that.

    Thank you for trying to help.

    If she's Brazilian, how do you know it's an Irish nickname? :confused:

    There is no such word in Portuguese, but the person who uses the nickname is Irish. And they often use the language.

    Never heard of such a word, tbh. Could you check the spelling? Or can you not just ask the person who uses it what it is?
