Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
Is aistriúchán í an fhoirm Ghaeilge, bunaithe ar an sloinne Fréir (< Frère na nAngla-Normannach). Is cosúil nach é an t-ainmfhocal coitianta friar atá sa logainm seo.
Tá an sloinne le fáil i measc na nAngla-Normannach i gContae Chill Dara, m.sh. 1297 ‘Adam, the serjeant of Conal, and Stephen Frere, serjeant there’ Calendar of Justiciary Rolls I. Féach DIL s.v. fréir agus Risk, ‘Anglo-Norman Loan-Words in Irish’ §152.
Maidir le Fréir > An Fréarach, cf. leathnú consain i leithéid Feirtéir > An Feirtéarach, Ruiséil > An Ruiséalach, srl.
