    I have a bit of a silly question for all of ye.  I have a friend
    who resides in Dublin (Dun Laoghaire), and we've been having a 
    discussion regarding his name, Paul Saran Carroll.  Can anyone out
    there in CELT-land tell me the meaning/origin of Saran?  The most
    we can come up with is that it was probably a Saint's name.
    
    Curiously,

    Probably comes from his grandfather Mr. Saran Wrap.  8*)
    
    Sorry I just couldn't pass it up.
    
    All kiding aside I think keVin has a book of Celtic names and the
    origins.
    
    Come on now keVin lets not be bashful,  help the lass out.

|     Yup, and his maternal grand father was Al (Luminum) Foyle,
    a Derry man. ;-)
    
    I closest I found was the surname Saurin, which is believed to
    be an anglicized Irish name, from what root I don't know.
