WHAT DOES TUATH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Túath

Túath was a medieval Irish polity smaller than a kingdom. The word is from Old Irish and is often translated as "people" or "nation". It is cognate with the Welsh and Breton tud, Galician toudo, and with Germanic þeudō. "Túath" referred to both a geographical territory and the people who lived on that territory. In Modern Irish it is spelled tuath, without the fada. In ancient Irish terms, a household was reckoned at about thirty people per dwelling. A trícha cét, was an area comprising a hundred dwellings or, roughly, three thousand people. A túath consisted of a number of allied trícha céta, and therefore referred to no fewer than 6,000 people. Probably a more accurate number for a túath would be no fewer than 9,000 people.
