I was trying to figure out where your name came from. The internet led me here. Ohh, I'm not familiar with that. It is an old Gaelic name. It's Old English, not Gaelic. It translates roughly as well-read or nobly advised . Literally Aethel (noble, or kingly) + read. St. Æthelthryth was an Anglo-Sax...
