The original Gaelic spelling of my name is Ceilidh, which is a traditional social gathering in Ireland and Scotland. Wikipedia says the word is derived from a word meaning "companion". It also means "the heir/descendant of Caollaidhe", which is the name of an Irish clan. But I'm not, as far as I know lol.
I found some sites saying it means "pure" also, but I don't know how accurate that is.
That's really pretty.
Sister Kayleigh,
Everytime I see posts from you, I get a little sad. Ceilidh was my daughter's name. I never got to know her while she lived outside of the womb. She died in utero at 7months. Yes, it means "Celebration" but it's a special celebration, like an Eid....not just any ole' party.
