📖 À propos Neil
Neil est l'anglicisation écossaise du gaélique irlandais Niall, signifiant « champion » ou « guerrier » (avec l'alternative poétique « nuage »). Voyageant à travers l'Écosse médiévale avec des colons gaéliques et nordiques, il s'est répandu mondialement avec les diasporas écossaises et irlandaises. En Australie, il s'est classé régulièrement dans le top 35 durant les années 1950 (pic au #32 en 1955), avant de décliner dans les années 1960–70. Son héritage culturel est immense : Neil Armstrong a marché sur la Lune en 1969, Neil Young a défini le rock contestataire nord-américain, Neil Diamond a produit des hymnes à 130 millions d'exemplaires, Neil Gaiman a réimaginer la mythologie et Neil deGrasse Tyson est devenu le communicateur scientifique le plus aimé des États-Unis.
