📖 À propos Mairead
Mairead est la forme traditionnelle gaélique irlandaise de Marguerite, dérivée du grec Margarites signifiant "perle". Profondément ancrée dans la tradition catholique irlandaise et les communautés gaélophones d'Ulster et du Connacht, elle est utilisée en Irlande depuis le haut Moyen Âge. Aujourd'hui, elle reste un fier marqueur de l'héritage irlandais, populaire dans la diaspora irlandaise mondiale.
