Frequently asked questions
›What is the Tuatha De Danann?
The "people of the goddess Danu" - a divine race in Irish mythology associated with the pre-Christian Celtic gods. Includes Lugh, Dagda, Nuada, Brigid, the Morrigan. Most of our Irish-mythology pool comes from this group.
›How do Welsh and Irish Celtic mythologies differ?
Welsh mythology centers on the Mabinogion (Rhiannon, Arawn, Pwyll, Branwen). Irish on the Mythological Cycle (Lugh, Dagda, Tuatha De). They share Indo-European Celtic roots but evolved into distinct narrative traditions. Our pool blends both.
›Are these names suitable for Arthurian fiction?
Indirectly. Arthurian legend incorporates earlier Celtic mythology (Morgan le Fay echoes Morrigan; the Lady of the Lake has Sirona connections). For straight Arthurian, lean toward later medieval names; for pre-Arthurian Celtic, use this generator.
