Gary, Also in another Celtic country, Cornwall. CARRACK, CARRICK carrek, rocky mass It is very unusual that a name is found in all these languages, this means the root word must be very old indeed, dating to before the split between the Goidelic & Brythonic forms of the language(s). I would indeed be surprised if the name exists or existed in Manx Gaelic as well. Jim Thompson > CARRICK - (Celtic) A crag, rock or headland. This word is also found in > Gaelic, Irish and Welsh. > I'm reminded of the Irish song that begins "I wish I was in > Carrickfergus....." I think it's from the > movie "The Quiet Man."
