Does anybody know what my username means? |
|
I picked it because it's my first name spelled backwards, but I learned late in the campaign last year that it's Gaelic for Kerry. Is that true?
I also know it is a language that only a couple hundred people in the Pacific Islands somewhere know.

1. Irish Gaelic doesn't use the letter K at all |
|
"Ciarraí" is Kerry. :shrug:

2. I always thought it was a shortened version of Kirie elison |

Which means "Lord have mercy" as anyone who grew up Catholic knows.
