Family words in Irish
Family = Teaghlach
Pronounce Teaghlach like chai-lockh, giving the -ckh a throaty sound.
Clann
Another related word for family is clann. However, clann generally refers
to your offspring. Therefore, only a parent or grandparent would talk about their “clann“.
Some bonus words:
- Sister = deirfiúr
- Brother = déartháir
- Mother = máthair
- Father = athair
- Daughter = iníon
- Son = mac
Now that you have the translations…

I’m trying to find a reply, if any, to the following post from August 2008:

“My husband and I have custody of our niece and are looking for a special name she can call us. . . . We are trying to find a special name so she does not feel left out when the baby comes and so she can differ[entiate us from] her other Aunts and Uncles but also does not upset her biological parents. Does anyone know of a tearm of endearment that may mean guardian, caretaker etc?”
The children I’m looking for a name to call me are my godchildren. I’m a sort of adopted brother of their grandmother or put another way, my niece’s children–two boys and a girl.
I’m looking to Irish after not being able to come up with something from English, German, or Spanish–which I know pretty well–but we’re Irish by descent, name of Ferguson.
Many thanks!
