    It sounds English to me so it might not have a translation in Gaeilge.

    I can't find an Irish version of it in 'An Sloinnteoir Gaeilge agus an tAinmneoir' and McLysaght's 'The Surnames of Ireland' says it's from a Middle-English word meaning 'uncle', but gives no indication of an Irish language version. There probably isn't any Irish version, unless you want to make one up yourself!
