Bidh daoine a鈥� gabhail iongnadh uaireannan mu ainmean-脿ite ann an Alba, far a bheil an dreach G脿idhlig agus an dreach Beurla gu tur eadar-dhealaichte bho ch猫ile. 鈥橲 e eisimpleir Dingwall, a tha a鈥� tighinn bhon t-Seann Lochlannais, agus Inbhir Pheofharain bhon Gh脿idhlig, ged a tha ainm an uillt 鈥檚 d貌cha a鈥� tighinn bho ch脿nan nan Cruithneach. 鈥橲 e eisimpleir eile Helmsdale (bho Lochlannais), air a bheil ainm G脿idhlig a tha uabhasach sean 鈥� Bun Ilidh.

听听听听听听听听听听听 Am measg ainmean dhen t-se貌rsa sin, tha fear ann am F矛obh 鈥� Cill R矛mhinn. Chan e baile m貌r a th鈥� ann, ach bha e cudromach ann an eachdraidh na h-Alba, gu h-脿raidh ann an eachdraidh na h-eaglaise 鈥� agus ann an eachdraidh goilf. Bha e cudromach ri linn nan Cruithneach, a r猫ir choltais, agus gu deimhinne ri linn nan G脿idheal ann am F矛obh.

Agus tha e fhathast cudromach an-diugh, oir tha ceangal aige do naomh-taice n脿iseanta na h-Alba 鈥� an Naomh Anndra. 鈥橲 e a鈥� Bheurla air Cill R矛mhinn 鈥� St Andrews. Bidh sinn a鈥� bruidhinn anns an d脿 ch脿nan air St Andrews University agus Oilthigh Chill R矛mhinn. Ach ciamar a fhuair am baile an d脿 ainm sin, a tha cho eadar-dhealaichte bho ch猫ile?

听听听听听听听听听听听 鈥橲 e an t-ainm G脿idhlig as sine. Chan e Cill R矛mhinn a bh鈥� ann bho shean, ge-t脿, ach Cinn R矛mhinn, no rudeigin coltach ri sin. Tha e a鈥� nochdadh an toiseach ann an seachd ceud, ceathrad 鈥檚 a seachd (747) AC ann an Annala Uladh. Thathar ag aithris mors Tuathalain abbatis Cinrigh Monai (b脿s Tuathalain, aba Cinrigh Monai). Tha sin a鈥� sealltainn dhuinn d脿 rud. Anns a鈥� chiad dol a-mach, bha an t-脿ite cudromach gu le貌r airson a bhith air a chl脿radh ann an l脿mh-sgr矛obhainn 脿 ceann a tuath na h-脠ireann. Agus bha e co-cheangailte ri monadh a chaidh ainmeachadh airson r矛gh.

听听听听听听听听听听听 Tha an sgoilear, S矛m Mac an T脿illeir, a thug s霉il gheur air ainmean-脿ite F矛obha, dhen bheachd gun robh an t-ainm G脿idhlig na eadar-theangachadh air an ainm Chruithneach a bh鈥� ann roimhe 鈥� Penrimonid no rudeigin coltach ri sin. B鈥� e a鈥� Gh脿idhlig Ceann R矛ghmonadh. 鈥橲 e an t-eadar-theangachadh air 鈥渞oyal or king鈥檚 muir, upland, rough grazing鈥�. Tha an talamh 脿rd anns an sg矛re fhathast a鈥� gi霉lain an ainm Kingsmuir. Tro th矛de, ann an G脿idhlig, dh鈥檃tharraich 谤矛驳丑尘辞苍补诲丑 gu 谤矛驳丑尘丑辞苍补诲丑 gu 谤矛尘丑颈苍苍.

听听听听听听听听听听听 B鈥� e ainm a鈥� bhaile ann am Beurla airson 霉ine mh貌r Kilrymont. Bha sin st猫idhichte air an ainm Gh脿idhlig. Bha Kilrymont a鈥� buntainn ris an rubha far an do thogadh a鈥� chathair-eaglais anns an d脿rna linn deug, ach far an robh an t-seann eaglais no cill roimhe. Bha Kin- air atharrachadh gu Kil-. Thachair sin timcheall air an d脿rna linn deug. Tha e coltach gun deach atharrachadh leis gun robh an t-脿ite cudromach mar l脿rach eaglaise. B鈥� iad G脿idheil a bha a鈥� smachdachadh na h-Eaglaise ann an Alba aig an 脿m sin.

听听听听听听听听听听听 Tha Mac an T脿illeir ag innse dhuinn gur iad na G脿idheil a-mh脿in a ghl猫idh an seann ainm Cill R矛mhinn. Chaidh Kilrymont 脿 bith ann am Beurla. Ach anns na beagan deicheadan a dh鈥檉halbh, chaidh a thoirt be貌 脿s 霉r. A-nise, ann an Cill R矛mhinn, tha Kilrymont Road, Crescent, Place 鈥� agus School. Agus an t-ainm St Andrews? Bheir sinn s霉il air sin an-ath-sheachdain.

Bidh daoine a鈥� gabhail iongnadh uaireannan: people are sometimes surprised; an dreach G脿idhlig: the Gaelic form; gu tur eadar-dhealaichte bho ch猫ile: completely different from each other; bhon t-Seann Lochlannais: from Old Norse; ged a tha ainm an uillt 鈥檚 d貌cha a鈥� tighinn bho ch脿nan nan Cruithneach: although the name of the burn perhaps comes from the language of the Picts; a r猫ir choltais: apparently; gu deimhinne ri linn nan G脿idheal ann am 贵矛辞产丑: certainly during the time of the Gaels in Fife; tha ceangal aige do naomh-taice n脿iseanta na h-Alba 鈥� an Naomh Anndra: it is connected to the patron saint of Scotland 鈥� St Andrew; cho eadar-dhealaichte bho ch猫ile: so different from each other; airson a bhith air a chl脿radh ann an l脿mh-sgr矛obhainn: to be recorded in a manuscript; 脿 ceann a tuath na h-脠ireann: from the north of Ireland; a thug s霉il gheur air ainmean-脿ite F矛obha: who closely examined the place names of Fife; rudeigin coltach ri sin: something like that; tha an talamh 脿rd fhathast a鈥� gi霉lain an ainm: the high land still carries the name; ag innse dhuinn gur iad na G脿idheil a-mh脿in a ghl猫idh an seann ainm: tells us that it was only the Gaels who preserved the old name; chaidh X 脿 bith: X became extinct; na beagan deicheadan a dh鈥檉halbh: the past few decades; chaidh a thoirt be貌 脿s 霉r: it鈥檚 been brought back to life.

far an do thogadh a鈥� chathair-eaglais: where the cathedral was built.
