Little flower (documented Irish Bláithín tradition)

Irish Bláithín naming tradition
The language lesson treats Bláithín as an Irish given name; the primary DCCI listing documents its accentless Blaithin form. This is a reviewed naming route, not every bearer’s ancestry.

The scholarly account, printed page 184, reports the Blasket islanders’ use of Bláithín for Robin Flower and explains its little-flower gloss. Galway’s Chambers catalogue repeats the gloss in note 53, PDF page 40. This is historical use of the accented form; it does not prescribe a modern baby’s gender or provide a nickname for every bearer.
