Hello all,

I'm trying to come up with a creative name for a male character of mine. I've searched numerous Celtic name websites but can't seem to find one that suits my needs and was wondering if someone on here could give me a hand?

I'm seeking a name or a one word phrase of saying:

"he who walks in the shadows" or "one who walks in the shadows" or something along those lines...

Does such a name or phrase (one word that could be used as a name) exist in Gaeilge?

Thank you much for your help.

The word for "shadow" is scáth. It appears to have been in use as a prefix for "shadowy things". For instance, scáthshlua means "phantom host/horde".

Perhaps:

Scáithshiúlóir "Shadow-walker"

Breandán,

Thank you for your help and suggestion

What would be the proper pronunciation?

Hi, I'd say Skath hew ell o ore.
Christy.

Scáithshiúlóir "Shadow-walker"
SKAW-hyoo-loorh (hyoo is like the first syllable in "human"; loorh rhymes with door)
/skɑ:h´u:Lo:r´/

Brilliant. Thank you both for your help and information!

Best regards,

Jason
