Declan (given name)


Declan is an Irish given name, an anglicised form of the Irish saint name Declán, also Deaglán or Déaglán. St. Declán founded a monastery in Ireland in the 5th century, and the St. Declán's stone has been credited as the site of many miracles. The name is believed to mean "man of prayer" or "full of goodness".
The name appears in an ogham inscription documented by the Ogham in 3D project as part of the name or Tecán, son of Déclán, although a short vowel is used for the 'e' in Déclán.
