Index of Names in Irish Annals: Giolla Dubh

by Mari Elspeth nic Bryan (Kathleen M. O'Brien)

Masculine Given Names: Gilla Dub / Giolla Dhubh

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:	Gilla Dub
Middle Irish Gaelic (c900-c1200) genitive form:	Gilla Duib
Middle Irish Gaelic (c900-c1200) patronymic form:	mac in Gilla Duib

Early Modern Irish Gaelic (c1200-c1700) nominative form:	Giolla Dhubh
Early Modern Irish Gaelic (c1200-c1700) genitive form:	Giolla Dhuibh
Early Modern Irish Gaelic (c1200-c1700) patronymic form:	mac an Giolla Dhuibh

Research Notes:

NOTE: This name began as an appellative - it was used in place of the given name, not actually as a given name. Examples of this usage can be seen among the examples below. Tomás Mág Uidhir, who died in 1430, has Tomás as his given name but was referred to as an Giolla Dhubh. We also see an actual given name listed for a man referred to as an Giolla Dhubh who died 1465.

The name literally means 'black boy' (referring to hair color). Because of this meaning, and the grammar construction of the phrase, it usually appears in byname phrases with the definite article. So, the normal form seen in the annals uses the construction mac an Giolla Dhuibh meaning 'son [of] the black boy'.

Given the annals entries available, it is not possible to identify the point in time when the appellative an Giolla Dhubh gave way to Giolla Dhubh used as an actual given name. Since descriptive bynames sometimes appear in patronymic bynames in place of a father's given name, examples of Giolla Dhubh in byname phrases is not support for its use as a given name. An important thing to note is that the definite article (an 'the') is used fairly consistently in the examples below when an Giolla Dhubh appears in a nominative position. Such usage is typical when appellatives are used in place of given names in annals entries.

Two other similarly constructed names are Giolla Ghruamdha (Gruamdha means 'Grim/Surly/Morose/Gloomy') and Giolla Riabhach (Riabhach means 'Swarthy').

In the case of Giolla Ghruamdha, there are three examples of men with that name. The first two (in 1466 and 1505) use the definite article and the first lists his given name, showing that an Giolla Ghruamdha is an appellative, not a given name. Only the last example, in 1549, does not use the definite article. Whether this is a transcription error or evidence of usage shift for this name is undetermined.

More examples have been found of Giolla Riabhach used in names. However, again we cannot tell when that name went from being used as an appellative to being a formal given name.

It is entirely possible that none of these three, Giolla Dhubh, Giolla Ghruamdha, and Giolla Riabhach, were used during the time that the annals cover as what we would modernly consider a given name. Given that the definite article is used fairly consistently with these names and not with other names such as Giolla Phádraig (which literally means '[St.] Patrick's boy' but is better translated with the meaning 'servant of St. Patrick'), it is likely that these names remained appellatives through much or all of the 16th C.

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.
