“Grainne was often called by her Anglicized name, Grace. Once the Normans and the English had come, she also used the Anglicized version of the clan name, “O’Malley.”
History Nerds, Grace O'Malley: The Pirate Queen of Ireland

“On one occasion, according to an old legend, Grace saved her father’s life when she leaped on the back of an English sailor who was wielding a knife, heading toward her father with a weapon drawn.”
History Nerds, Grace O'Malley: The Pirate Queen of Ireland

“Even her name carried great symbolism: according to modern research, the name Boudica (also spelled as Boadicea), is made up from Brythonic words *boudi (victory, win) and *-ka (having) suffix. Thus, quite literally, her name means “Victorious Woman”.”
History Nerds, Boudica: Queen of the Iceni
