MacGuire

Also spelled Mcguire or Maguire, MacGuire is an Irish last name borne for generations. While this moniker isn’t commonly used as a first name, it could be a lovely way to pay tribute to your Irish heritage. MacGuire begins with Mac, a prefix meaning “son of.” Many Irish last names start with this prefix, denoting the original bearer as a close relative of a specific individual. MacGuire translates to “son of Odhar,” with Odhar a nickname for a person with “sallow” or “dun-colored” skin. As baby MacGuire grows up, you can teach them to find common ground with others. Perhaps shared familial roots will even help them make a friend or two!
