Uilleag

Uilleag is an Irish given name representing a Gaelic form of the Old Norse name Hugleikr, composed of the elements hugr, meaning mind or spirit, and leikr, meaning play or sport. It was adopted into Irish use through Norse contact during the Viking Age and medieval period. The Anglicized form Ulick arose from this name and was borne by several members of the Burke family, powerful lords in Connacht. William is sometimes used as an equivalent in English, though that name has a distinct Germanic origin.
