    Well...

    Pen = Peann

    Rose = Rós

    So Peannrós? I don't know of a specific translation.

    It's not an Irish name..There is no translation..It's like trying to translate a german surname to Indian.It will even appear as Penrose on all Irish docunments.

    As eia340600 said it's more than likely no translations. The names would be the same.

    For your own benefit tho:

    Penrose is best left untouched but Neeson is Mac Aonasa.
