Stephen out of Detroit Michigan would like to know what is the Irish Gaelic word for friend? The Irish Gaelic word for friend is cara. The plural version or the word friends is cairde. If you're interested in saying my friend then you would say mo chara. If you would like to say my friends then you would say mo chairde. Out of all the Irish Gaelic translation requests that we receive, this one is near the top of the list. You're likely to come across the Gaelic word cara or cairde in Irish themed greeting cards, inscribed on Celtic jewelry, and even on tattoos. Several people have also asked whether or not the common female name Cara is at all derived from the word cara. According to the research that I did the female name Cara is indeed directly rooted in the Irish word cara, assuming of course that it's the English driven variation. Many thanks to Stephen for hitting us up with this question. For more user submitted questions please continue browsing.
