Daire (Dáre, Dairi, Dara), is an Old Irish name which fell out of use at an early period, remaining restricted essentially to legendary and ancestral figures. It has come back into fashion in the past 20 years. The anglicized form of this name is Darragh. It may refer to: * Daire Barrach, a Leinster dynast and son of Cathair Mór of the Laigin * Daire Cerbba, a Munster dynast of the 4th century * Dáire Derg, character from the Fenian Cycle possibly identical with Goll mac Morna * Dáire Doimthech, a legendary King of Tara, ancestor of the ''Dáirine'' and Corcu Loígde * Daire Donn, "king of the great world" from the ''Battle of Ventry'' of the Fenian Cycle, sometimes referred to as... * Daire Dornmár, a grandson of the legendary Conaire Mór and early king of Dál Riata * Daire Drechlethan, a King of Tara of uncertain identity listed in the ''Baile Chuinn Chétchathaig'' * Daire Sírchréchtach, alternative name of Dáire Doimthech * Daire mac Cormaic, a son of the celebrated Cormac mac Airt * Daire mac Dedad, father of the legendary Cú Roí and alternative ancestor of the ''Dáirine'' * Daire mac Dlúthaig, father of Fiatach Finn of the Ulaid, ancestor of the Dál Fiatach * Daire mac Fiachna, cattle-lord from the Ulster Cycle, owner of the Donn Cuailnge and cousin of Conchobar mac Nessa * Daire mac Forgo (Forggo), an early king of Emain Macha of the Ulaid and alternative father of Fiatach Finn ==Interpretations== Both Eoin MacNeill 〔MacNeill, pp. 61-2〕 and T. F. O'Rahilly believed that most, if not all of those listed may derive from the same prehistoric or mythological figure,〔MacNeill asserted this was the god Lugh.〕 or have adopted each other's features to such an extent as to all be composites. The latter states that Daire and Cú Roí "are ultimately one and the same",〔O'Rahilly, p. 49〕 and refers to him as "the god of the Otherworld".〔O'Rahilly, p. 48〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dáire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
