WHAT DOES DALRIADA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dalriada

Dál Riata

Dál Riata was a Gaelic overkingdom on the western coast of Scotland and part of Ulster in Ireland. In the late 6th and early 7th century it encompassed roughly what is now Argyll and Bute and Lochaber in Scotland and also County Antrim in Ulster. In Argyll it consisted initially of three kindreds: Cenél Loairn in north and mid-Argyll, Cenél nÓengusa based on Islay and Cenél nGabráin based in Kintyre; a fourth kindred, Cenél Chonchride in Islay, was seemingly too small to be deemed a major division. By the end of the 7th century another kindred, Cenél Comgaill, had emerged, based in eastern Argyll. The Lorn and Cowal districts of Argyll take their names from Cenél Loairn and Cenél Comgaill respectively, while the Morvern district was formerly known as Kinelvadon, from the Cenél Báetáin, a subdivision of the Cenél Loairn. Traditionally, it has been held that Dál Riata was founded by Gaelic Irish migrants who brought with them Christianity, writing, and new technologies that were not inherent in Pictland.
