Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
Muriel This is an ancient Celtic name, which derives from Muirgheal ('sea-bright'). It was first recorded in Brittany in the 11th century, and was brought to Scotland by Norman adventurers.
Angus, Aonghas This is an ancient Celtic name, meaning 'unique choice' and pronounced AYNG-us. It has important, historical overtones in Scotland, since Oenghus was one of the three sons of Erc, who helped to found the kingdom of Dalriada in Argyll. The name can also be linked with Hungus, a famous king of the Picts.
