Collins Gem Babies Names is the ultimate guide to more than 2000 popular Irish names. An ideal gift for anyone looking to choose an Irish name for their child or learn more about their own name.

The updated paper edition with a new cover and text design offers a fresh aesthetic. Irish names are becoming increasingly common worldwide, with their spread observed in many English-speaking countries.

This spread is the result of mass migration, mainly during the 19th century, when many people of Irish descent migrated to countries such as Britain, the USA, Canada, and Australia. These names remained alive among their descendants, even if they were forced to adopt the English language.

The guide provides names derived from the Gaelic language (presented in both the Gaelic and Anglicized forms), translations of non-Irish names, and Irish surnames and words.

It is accompanied by a guide to the meanings, origins, and pronunciations of each name. This edition has been redesigned according to the new Gem style and includes 288 pages with dimensions 8.2x8.2cm.
