Irish Translation Forum

I'm looking for the translation of "Little One" in Irish Gaelic. My artist is ready to do the tattoo but I'm nervous about the translation.

What kind of little one have you in mind? some context is needed here.

My family's nickname for me is "Little One"...That is why I want the but I want it in gaelic because I'm Irish

fiarefeadha's question was important. In Irish, you need to know what kind of little thing is involved. It's possible to say ceann beag ("[a] little one"), but it would sound odd by itself, out of context, and since you mentioned it being something which a person might be called, it would be duine beag ("[a] little person"), except that If you were calling someone that in person (i.e. speaking to the person), then it would be A dhuine bhig ("O Little Person").
