Just to get this section started, I though I'd post some interesting names for St. Patrick's Day from Scotland.
St. Patrick's Day, or Là Fheill Pàdraig Earraich [St. Patrick's Day of/in the Spring"] has several other names in Scottish Gaelic:
Là nan Trì Sealladh ["Day of the Three Sights"], because three sights may be seen on that day: harrowing, plowing, and sowing.
Là nan Seachd Oibrichean Fichead ["Day of the Twenty-Seven Works"], because twenty-seven different kinds of work are done on a farm on that day [I don't have a list of them]..
