Saoirse – Irish Word for Freedom Ogham Framed Art Print

Saoirse (pronounced SEER-sha) is the Irish word for freedom. This framed art print writes it in authentic Ogham, the ancient Irish alphabet carved into standing stones across Ireland from around the 4th century AD.

The design is a single vertical line of Ogham, set above the word Saoirse and its meaning. It's minimal enough for any room and meaningful enough to start a conversation.

How to read it

Ogham is read from the bottom up, just as it was carved along the edge of a stone. Each letter is a group of strokes on or across a central stem line:

• S (Sail): 4 strokes to the right
• A (Ailm): 1 notch across the stem
• O (Onn): 2 notches
• I (Idad): 5 notches
• R (Ruis): 5 diagonal strokes crossing the stem
• S (Sail): 4 strokes to the right
• E (Edad): 4 notches

Every inscription is checked letter by letter against the traditional Ogham alphabet, so what hangs on your wall is correct.

A meaningful Irish gift

Saoirse is also one of Ireland's best-loved girls' names, which makes this print a thoughtful gift for a Saoirse in your life, a new baby's nursery, or anyone with Irish roots. It's also a quiet reminder of independence for a graduation, a new chapter, or a fresh start.
