Nic

1. A prefix used with a woman’s maiden surname

   Fionnghuala fhionn Nic Aoidh ― fair-haired Fionnghuala McKay

This prefix replaces the prefix Mac found in male surnames, and triggers lenition of a following consonant, except for C and G. It is used by unmarried women, and by married women who have kept their maiden name. Thus Fionnghuala Nic Aoidh’s father and brothers would use the surname Mac Aoidh.
