TDITOR: A Scot with a German L name (Kirk) agrees with me that there can be such a thing as braying about the native braes. Yet he looks askance at the name Riley! For his elucidation, let me state that the name is ancient Gaelic, spelled variously in the incapable English language, and should be "Rachilly." There is no family plaid (Tartan, Mr. Kirk). Nor is there anything Scottish about "Kirk" except a modern ish name for ecclesiastical buildings. It was the ex-Kaiser cf Germany who relegated women to the three duties of "Kinder, Kirche und Kuchen." If there is such a thing as a Kirk tartan, I'll wear it in public! The name Riley or Reilly or Rahilly, etc., is usually associated with County Cavan, Ireland, which is something to be proud of. The Scottish Johnsons and Andersons, etc., are of Norge ancestry, but the Scots are pure Gaels. The ancient Irish were known as "Scoti" by the Romans. When part of the race moved to Caledonia, they took, not only their family names, but the racial name, so Caledonia became "SCOTland." The brethren in Erin were angry or ired at the desertion, so the island was named "Ired-land."
