Tearlach McIntosh, Name
This name conflicts with Charles Macintosh (1766-1843), the Scottish chemist & inventor who invented waterproofed fabric & who has his own entry in the online version of the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. It is from his name that a raincoat is often called a “macintosh” throughout much of the English-speaking world. The names Tearlach (which is pronounced approximately “TCHAHR-l@,” where @ represents a schwa sound) & Charles have been equated over time due to their similarity in sound. It is this similarity in sound which is the cause for this conflict.
Sommelier notes: Black (sn Tearlach, p. 764) notes “Teàrlach is the Gaelic name with which Charles has been equated. There is no co[nn]ection between the two names, it being simply a case of adopting a name like or nearly like in sound to the Gaelic.” Black also notes “In Irish as a forename it has been Anglicized Turlough and Terence (!).”
Black (p. 465 s.n. MacCarlich) shows that the association of these names & so similarity in their pronunciation, dates to period in Scots (a language closely related to English), when he states that “Tarlocht M’Ene V’Carlych, a witness in 1573, appears again in the same year as Charles M’Ane V’Tarlych & as Therlycht M’Ain W’Therlycht.” Therefore, because of the similarity in sound between the names Charles & Tearlach, these names conflict.
The College noted other information regarding the given name Tearlach that the submitter may wish to consider when resubmitting this name.
Tearlachis a Modern Gaelic (c. 1700 to present) form of this name. Lacking evidence that it was used in Gaelic in period, it is not registerable. The Middle Gaelic (c. 900 to c. 1200) form of this name is Tairdelbach. The Early Modern Gaelic (c. 1200 to c. 1700) form of this name is Toirdhealbhach. This name appears in Scots (as noted in Black, p. 465 s.n. MacCarlich, cited above) as Tarlocht & Therlycht in 1573.
Anglicized Irish forms of this name are found in indentures listed in footnotes in John O’Donovan, ed., Annals of Ireland, by the Four Masters, vol. 5. These indentures date the given name forms Tirlagh to 1578 (pp. 1710-1712), Tirlogh & Tirloghe to 1576 (pp. 1690-1691), Tirrelage to 1570 (pp. 1651-1652), & Tirreloghe to 1570 (pp. 1649-1650).
