- Macdara is an Irish first name that originates from a Christian saint, Macdara, who lived off the western coast of Ireland on a remote island over 1,500 years ago. His own first name was Sinach. According to a 1999 article in the New York Times, St. Macdara’s Island "was home in the sixth century to St. Macdara, Connemara's most respected saint, who built a one-room chapel here" which is "considered one of the finest early Christian oratories in Ireland". Today in Ireland, the name Macdara is quite rare as a first name. One of the most prominent modern uses of the name is a second-level school located in the south of Dublin city named St Mac Dara's College. The spelling of the name has a number of different variations including Macdarragh and Macdarra. Mac is Irish for Son and Dara is Irish for Oak so the literal translation of Macdara is Son of Oak. A new innovation without historic pedigree is for the name to be spelled as one word with a capital "D" as in MacDara. (en)
- Naomh den 6ú haois ba ea é Mac Dara, ina phátrún ag pobal Mhaírois agus ag na hiascairí áitiúla i gConamara Theas. Tugtar Mac Dara fós mar ainm ar go leor páistí sa bparóiste mar gheall ar an naomh. Thóg Mac Dara teampall ar oileán amach ón Más (Carna), inniu Oileán Mhic Dara i bparóiste Mhaírois – anois paróiste Charna. Bhí séipéal beag ann, a raibh ceann cloch air, agus thóg na haingil é in aon oíche amháin, deirtear. Ceaptar go bhfuil an Naomh curtha san oileán. Tá fothraigh an teampaill sin ina seasamh fós agus tá tobar beannaithe an Naoimh san oileán freisin. Tá an-mhuinín ag na daoine as an naomh i gcónaí, go mór mór lucht farraige. Is iomaí scéal ata ann faoin gcaoi ar shábháil Mac Dara iascairí a bhí i mbaol ar farraige. (ga)
