Marcia Marsha Marleen Arleen Moreen any word ending in een or eene or ine in Gaelic can mean "little" or "part of" this means that the name Moreen means literally "Largelitte" Mor being "big or Large" or it could mean "little death" if you mix the roots. anyway, an irish/scots/welsh name ending in een or eene would refer to small/little etc. So.. you could make a construct new name like Shieleen (prounounced Sheleen) or more properly spelled "Sileen", and could also be translated as "little Fairy" which brings up yet another alternative spelling Sheeleen <-- I don't like this one as much. But it could also be: Sithleen or drop the "L" and get Sitheen and maybe feminize it with an ending "a" Sitheena. Theses are not necessarilly gramatically correct, but the concept is pretty close I think and they make for pretty and varied names. Try it with most Celtic names and get variations. Like the masculine Sean (Shawn) could be made more femine by adding een Seaneen Just some ideas. Ironhart.
