Nuallán

Nuallán is a given name of Irish origin. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "nuall," meaning "loud" or "noble," combined with the diminutive suffix "-án." Therefore, Nuallán can be interpreted as "little noble one" or "little loud one."

Historically, Nuallán was the name of several notable figures in Irish history and literature. One such individual was Nuallán mac Dubh Dáin, an Irish king who lived in the 9th century. Another prominent bearer of the name was Nuallán, a character in Irish mythology, often associated with stories of the Fianna.

In modern times, Nuallán is a relatively uncommon given name, primarily found within Ireland and among people of Irish descent. It is more frequently used as a masculine name. The pronunciation typically involves a "n" sound followed by a vowel, then an "l" sound, and finally a soft "n" sound. The stress usually falls on the first syllable. While not a globally widespread name, Nuallán holds a distinct place in Irish nomenclature and cultural heritage.
