Macdara
"Macdara" is an Irish first name that originates from the Christian saint, Macdara who lived off the west coast of Ireland on a remote island over 1,500 years ago, whose own first name was Sinach.
"St. Macdara's Island, a tiny speck of green about a half-mile long, was home in the sixth century to St. Macdara, Connemara's most respected saint, who built a one-room chapel here, with a dirt floor, walls of huge stones and a steep stone roof. In 1975 the church was restored and today it is considered one of the finest early Christian oratories in Ireland."〔Daryln Brewer Hoffstot, ("Where Legends Outnumber People" ), ''New York Times'', 1 August 1999〕
Today in Ireland the name Macdara is quite rare as a first name but one of the most prominent uses of the name is a second level school located in the south of Dublin city named St Mac Dara's College and a renowned international clarinet soloist Macdara Ó Seireadáin. Another notable musician by the name of Macdara is Mac Dara Ó Raghallaigh, 1992 All-Ireland Champion on the fiddle.
