abstract:
Erc is the name of several Irish and Scottish figures belonging to mythology, hagiography and the annals. This anthroponym does not seem to be widespread and is of uncertain significance. However, it appears to be the origin of several place-names both in Ireland and also in other Celtic lands. Given the different usage of the root erc-, if we want to try to understand the cultural concept it covers, we must study it literarily – through an examination ofcharacters with this name or surname.
