In Scottish Gaelic, how is Paul Sweeney's name written?

Sean Mac Suibhne
Eòin Mac Suibhne
Ruairidh Mac Suibhne
Pòl Eòin Mac Suibhne

Answer

The Gaelic name "Pòl Eòin Mac Suibhne" corresponds to the English name "Paul Sweeney". In Gaelic culture, the surname comes before the given name, so "Mac Suibhne" is Sweeney and "Pòl Eòin" is Paul John. Gaelic names often include "Mac" or "Nic", meaning "son of" and "daughter of", respectively, followed by the father's name.
