Time for another instalment of the series on Irish saints' names as published in the Australian press in 1914. Feasts in the month of October include some of the Irish holy men who laboured in Europe, as well as the name of Dubtac, associated with the father of Saint Brigid:
IRISH SAINTS' NAMES.
There are many who think that the Irish saints are only a few, and so their choice
of names for their children is very small. Week by week, a list will be
given. The name will be spelt as in Irish and the English equivalent
will be given in brackets. The sex is marked m. for males, and f. for
females. Only one name is given for each day, but more could be given.
Year of death as below.
