Domhnalláin

Domhnalláin is a given name of Irish origin. It is a diminutive form of the Old Irish name Domhnall, which translates to "world ruler." The suffix "-án" is a common diminutive ending in Irish, indicating a smaller or younger version of the root name. Therefore, Domhnalláin can be interpreted as "little world ruler" or "young world ruler."

The name Domhnall itself has a long history in Ireland and Scotland, being borne by several prominent figures, including kings and chieftains. The diminutive form Domhnalláin would likely have been used to refer to a son or a younger relative named Domhnall. While not as common as its parent name, Domhnalláin has appeared throughout Irish history. Records of its usage can be found in historical genealogies and chronicles.

As a given name, Domhnalláin is relatively rare in modern times, though it is still used by some individuals, particularly within families who wish to maintain a connection to their Irish heritage. The pronunciation follows Irish phonetic rules, with the "mh" often sounding like a "v" and the "ll" being a broad sound. The stress typically falls on the first syllable. The name is exclusively masculine.
