I wish I had a dollar for every time we've been asked this over the years. We wouldn't be rich, but it could sure come in handy! Believe me this was something we deliberated about for quite a while before we finally chose Gaelic Knot Studio as our official name. That choice was made a few years ago and if it was to be made today it would be even more difficult.
According to our dictionary the word Celtic can be pronounced both kel-tic or sel-tic. It can also be spelled Keltic. As a noun it is a subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages subdivided into the Brythonic branch consisting of Cornish, Welsh and Breton, and the Goidelic branch consisting of Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic and Manx. As an adjective it means; Of or pertaining to the Celtic people or languages.
One of the strongest influences for our name choice was the pronounciation issue associated with the word Celtic. We prefer it with the "K" sound and didn't feel like continually debating which is more correct. Considering much of our focus was on our Irish and Scottish heritage we decided to go with a less used version. So we chose Gaelic Knot Studio. It is who we are and how we are known. Since that time we have discovered our family line also includes a strong Cornish branch and possibly a Welsh branch as well. In general we celebrate our Celtic heritage as well as a very strong love of nature in our work.
