Ceallagh is a variant of the Gaelic Ceallach which means "war," "strife," or "bright-headed."
Here is what others had to say about it:
"KELLY and it's variations is the 2nd most common of the Irish surnames. From the Gaellic O'Ceallaigh or Ceallaigh, meaning bright-headed. County Galway and county Meade are the main areas for this surname.

Anyway, I wanted an easy and clever blog name, but Kelly, KellyKelly, KellyKellyKelly, and KellyKellyKellyKelly were all taken.....no, I didn't try Kelly,Kelly,Kelly,Kelly,Kelly. Actually, the word Gaelic might itself be related to Kelly through Ceallach.??
Received Rachmaninoff's Complete RCA Recordings today in the mail. Just listened to him playing Beethoven with Kriesler. Amazing. Even with the relatively poor sound quality, his tone is so beautiful and his phrasing and sense of timing never cease to blow me away.
Tomorrow I'll learn how to post photos/movies.
