Church, in my words

eglis : church

The Fennas word for church is eglis. Eglis is an uncommon first name that can be hispanic. Eglis is an uncommon last name.

How did I come up with this word? The Welsh word for church is eglwys, and the Irish word for church is eaglais, and the Breton word for church is iliz. (Also, note that the French word for church is église).

The picture shows Cooneen parish church of Ireland.
