There's some misunderstanding going on here; despite doing several courses at university where Adomnán was a key subject, not once have I come across this form of his name. Please explain why this obscure form is suddenly "the standard English form of his name". - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 15:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm from Donegal where the name Eunan (pronounced You-nan) is quite popular. It is the name of the main boys school in Letterkenny, St. Eunan's College, the cathedral of the Diocese of Raphoe, St. Eunan's Cathedral and a GAA team. In fact when I was tidying up some articles on the county I found it hard to find this page.
Donegal is a partly Irish speaking region and the modern Irish spelling Adhamhnán (pronounced OO-wa-nawn) is used instead of Adamnan. Originally there would have been a little dot, called a sí buailte or séimhiú, to soften the d and m, that would have been missed by non-Gaelic scholars. This dot was replace in the 20th century with a h.
Hopefully that clears up a few things. The pronouciations are a bit off- never any good with IPA!! I'll change the wording anyway.Afn 15:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The text says he was born either in 627 or 628 while the infobox says 624; any clarification? LC has 625?-704; should we says 620s?--FeanorStar7 09:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
