Irish Translation Forum

Thanks to this site I've found the translation for the English word, but actually, it's a difficult word for anyone not familiar with Irish Gaelic.

A friend of mine is thinking of starting an Irish pub in The Netherlands. Sine her name is "Renate", which means "reborn" of course, I thought it would be a great name for a pub. So I'm looking for a translation for

"Renate's"

really, but with a less difficult word. Is there a suitable alternative for "Athbheirtha's", anyway?

Hope someone can help me with this, it will be greatly appreciated!

Apeir0n

How about

Beatha Arís


Life again


Also

Uisce Beatha is the Irish for -intoxicating drink (from where Whiskey it got its name -)

Uisce beatha means water of life -and means alcoholic beverages

or you could use


Beatha Nua

New Life?

i kinda like

Uisce Beatha Nua

Water of New Life

but also


New ' Alcohol'

Apeiron - great name...

from Anaxemander, right? or was it his brother Anaxamenes(sp.?)?

-Everything is Apeiron- was the quote, I remember

I kinda like Beatha Nua because it's closest to the meaning of Renate and it's shorter. Less to reprint on napkins, matchbooks, etc. :

Just my 2 cents.

Thank you all so much! I like them all... I'll let Renate choose.

Yes, Apeir0n is indeed the name of the philosopher, and I believe it was Anaximander. It's been a while since I read about it, so I can be mistaken. Apeiron means infinity.

I spell it differently though, with a zero substituting the o (just to make the name unique over the internet... I've never seen another Apeir0n).

Thanks everybody!

'Athghinte' is another possibility (but with a suggestion of 'born-again' in the Christian sense)

(it also means 'regenerated' and I suppose could be applied to Doctor Who )

BTW, the correct spelling of the word you suggested yourself is 'athbheirithe' (which might also suggest the Christian sense of 'born-again')
