A friends recently deceased dog was a stray found in Ireland many years ago. He would love to have her name, Gypsy, written in Gaelic on her grave but cannot find a translation. Anybody help?!

Didn't I read in an earlier thread tha t Gypsy could also be spalpeen? But I think that's not a term of endearment.

Hi JSmith,
Yup. In an earlier post I said Spailpín was gypsy - as in the song the Whistling Gypsy or An Spailpín Fanach as Gaeilge. Tadgh pointed out, quite correctly, that its use is more of a migrant worker, travelling about from town to town and a bit of a rogue. Slán Siobhán |

I guess if the dog liked to run the neighborhood, Spailpín would work, then. Thanks for the correction in spelling. There's an Irish group here in Baltimore called "The Spalpeens" I guess that is a phonetic spelling.
