How to Say “Harrington” in Irish

By Philip Albert • Updated September 29, 2026

Harrington

The English family name Harrington is translated into Irish as Ó hArgadáin.

Did you know?

If a person with the name Ó hArgadáin is mentioned in a sentence, the name may change form depending on whether it is the subject or the object of the sentence.
The name Ó hArgadáin is historically linked to a specific tribal grouping or 'tuath' in early Irish society, rather than just an individual ancestor.
The spelling of hArgadáin uses an accent called a 'fada' on the 'á', which changes the vowel sound and is essential for correct pronunciation.

Examples in context

An bhfuil Harrington sa teaghlach sin?
Is Harrington in that family?
Ní Harrington an t-ainm sin.
That name is not Harrington.
