| Ó Tuairisc | rare: Conamara. Ir.Lang. See Waters. |
| Ó Tuairisc | tá meascadh mór sloinnte romhainn nuair a bhreathnaimíd ar Ó Tuairisc, Óh-Uarghuis, Ó Fuaruisce, Mac Con Uisce. Taobh amuigh den cheann deireannach níl an focal uisce i gceist in aon chor! Is cosúil gur claochlú ar Ó h-Uarghuis an leagan Ó Tuairisc atá i bhfeidhm i gConamara. Ciallaíonn Uarghus: fuar + gus (fuar + fuinneamh) agus tá an sloinne le fáil i gClochar (Fear Manach). Tá Fuaruisc ar aon dul leis sin agus críochnaímíd leis na leagain gallda: Waters, Watters. An scríbhneóir Eoghan Ó Tuairisc (1919-1982), as Gaillimh, bhí Eugene Watters air i mBéarla (scríobh sé sa dá theanga). Tá na leagain eile ann: Whoriskey, Tourish, Caldwell & rl. MIF. |
| Tourish | Very rare: scattered in Ulster. Ir. Ó Tuairisc which is a corruption of Ó h-Uarghuis (cold-force); an Ulster name occurring also as Horisk, q.v. |
