Dundee
d(u)-ndee,
dun-dee
Origin:Gaelic
Other Origin(s):Scottish
Meaning:Fort on the Tay, fort of fire, fort of God
Just like Angus, Iona, and Skye, Dundee captures the rugged, wind-swept charm of Scotland's mountainous terrain. Nestled along the eastern coast amidst the scenic Highlands, Dundee is a quaint city that serves as the inspiration for this name. As Scotland's fourth-largest city, Dundee sits along the River Tay near the Firth of Tay. Its name has roots in the Irish or Scots Gaelic dún, meaning "fort," and Dé, referring either to "fire" or the Christian "God." While it can translate to "fort of God," or "fort of fire," Dundee also reflects its position as the "fort on the Tay."
