Julio.

He was from Gort.

Roughly 25% of the population of Gort are of Brazilian origin, so I'm not surprised tbh.

Likewise, Tárlach (Toirdhealbhach) is a very old name that has absolutely no connection with Terence other than Terence is, along with Turlough, the most common anglicisation given to people with that name. The Irish name was there first so Terence is the English for Tárlach.

I had a teacher called Traolach, whose English name was Terence.
