The name today is usually spelled Mahar or Maher. The real Gaelic is O'Meachair.Great post on the man. Now if we could only pronounce his surname right. Pronounced "Maar" as I understand it (apparently Leprechauns stole most of the letters ).
The Irish language generally uses more letters than it needs -- particularly at the end of a word.
