We just bought a beautiful house and would like to name it Fairy Hill. What would be the translation from English to Gaelic?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have also seen Cnoc na Sí sometimes anglicised as Knocknashee

Awesome! I seem to remember hearing Knocknashee from a movie I watched when I was little...I remember wondering what it meant.
I'm so glad to finally know. I love it! This is a big, old beautiful house that sits high on a hill... I'm going to buy a beautiful plaque with the
new name on it. (Cnoc na Sí ) So is Sí the same as Sidhe? Or is that a different word?
