Masculine Given Names: Dubhaltach
Spellings:
What we know as a set of Irish Annals are manuscripts that were each compiled during a
particular time period, usually using older material as sources. For example, when
the Annals of the Four Masters were written from 1632 to 1636, they covered events
that occurred centuries and millenia before (including legendary history). So, when
an entry in this set of annals refers to a person who lived in the year 738, the
spelling used for that person's name is very likely not using the spelling that
would have been used in 738.
Standard forms of this name (based on spelling systems of different periods) would be:
| Middle Irish Gaelic (c900-c1200) nominative form: | Dubhaltach |
| Middle Irish Gaelic (c900-c1200) genitive form: | Dubhaltaigh |
Frequency & Dates:
| Number of men found in the annals with this name: | 10 |
| Found in Years: | 1527, 1538, 1543, 1561, 1567, 1577, 1581, 1587, 1588 |
Research Notes:
Note: Per OCM (pp. 77-78 s.n. Dubaltach) says of this name:
"Meaning, perhaps, 'black jointed, dark-limbed'".
It is important to note that in ALL examples of this name in the annals, it is prefixed by a definite
article meaning 'the'. So, at least in a sentence, a person with this name would be referred
to as An Dubhaltach [the rest of the man's name]. This also means, that a patronymic
byname including this name would include the definite article: mac an Dubhaltaigh.

Raw Data
In the table below, I have separated individuals with a blank line. That is, when there are multiple
entries in the annals that refer to a single person, those entries are grouped together.
Within the list of entries refering to a single person, I have sorted the entries
primarily by orthography when it is obvious that what I am seeing is the same entry
showing up in multiple annals. The entries that tend to use older spellings are listed first.
Special factors which may affect name usage are marked in the context column.
| AN | indicates a member of an Anglo-Norman family |
| AS | indicates an Anglo-Saxon |
| N | indicates a Norseman |
| P | indicates a Pict |
| R | indicates a person holding a religious office |
| S | indicates a person from Scotland |
NOTE: The Annals referenced below under the code letters A, B, C, E, & F tend to use
later spellings than the other Annals. In some cases, the spellings listed in these Annals
may not be appropriate for the year referenced in the Annal entry.
In some Gaelic scripts, there is a character that looks approximately like a lowercase f,
but without the crossbar. This character (represented by an underscored , e, in
the entries below) sometimes represents e and sometimes ea depending upon the
context of the text.
