Am not sure how well known this is as I have only just found it.

And following on from the recent discussions on Manx Surnames the following link may be of interest to those seeking info on Manx names and origins and for those off Island to hear it spoken is a bonus.

Go to

http://www.manxradio.com/gaelic/audio/index.shtml

and click on any of the surnames and listen to Dr. Brian Stowell's explanation. You will of course need a media player to hear it.

The name list is not exhaustive and you can write to Dr Stowell seeking "your" surname be recorded.

Enjoy
