I'm looking for the Gaelic translation for the English word 'Hummingbird'
It's for a tattoo I want to get in memory of my Grandmother.
Thank You!

How do you pronounce that?

You can use this link to get to a site where you can type in Irish words or phrases and hear them pronounced, but note that it favors the Ulster dialect, which will matter in this case in how the second "d" is pronounced (although you will still be understood by everyone):

Being a compound of dord + éan, I am pretty sure the second d stays broad, just as the ch in droch- stays broad in compounds:
dordéan DOOR-dayn /do:rde:N/ An automated synthesizer like abair.ie would be confused by the irregular spelling breaking the "broad with broad, slender with slender" rule. Try putting a space between the two parts: dord éan  Irish Learners' Forum (http://irishlearner.awyr.com/) A place to learn Irish together and get accurate human translations, including translations for tattoos. |

The Brazilian name Beija Flor (Flower kisser) is very poetic. Like wise the Mexican Chupa Rosa (Rose sucker) and Argentinian Pica Flor (Flower spiker)
