Names like “Declan,” which were whispered by Irish saints and sung by modern parents, have two different meanings, like a secret melody. Its Gaelic meaning is “full of goodness,” making it a sweet and soft promise for children. In the eyes of many who treasure its Irish heritage, however, it also echoes the words “man of prayer,” a reference to the Irish missionary St. Declan. Although it hasn’t reached number one in the US just yet, but it is making steady progress thanks to its endearing blend of a storied past and an enduring, welcoming ethos. With every new Declan born, the name’s history of faith and goodness continues to grow.
