==Etymology==
The name "Shiant" (pronounced "Shant") is from the (スコットランド・ゲール語:Na h-Eileanan Seunta) , which means the "charmed", "holy" or "enchanted isles". The group is also known as ''Na h-Eileanan Mòra'', "the big isles" (:nə ˈhelanən ˈmoːɾə). The main islands are Garbh Eilean (rough island) and Eilean an Taighe (house island), which are joined by a narrow isthmus, and Eilean Mhuire (island of the Virgin Mary) to the east. Eilean an Taighe was called ''Eilean na Cille'' (island of the church) prior to the 19th century.〔Haswell-Smith (2004) pp. 275-76〕〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 105〕
