Cenél

Ón Vicipéid, an chiclipéid shaor.

Is rannán de theaghlach é cenél[1] (Nua-Ghaeilge: cineál), go háirithe de theaghlach Gaelach.[2] Úsáidtear an téarma seo in Albain agus in Éirinn, ina bhféadfaí é a aistriú mar “sliocht” nó “síol”, srl.[3] (mar shampla, “sliocht Néill Naoighiallaigh”).

San fhoclóir sanasaíoch 'An etymological dictionary of the Gaelic language', tugann Alasdair MacGilleBhàin an méid seo a leanas le fios faoin fhocal cineal; "offspring, clan, Irish cineul, Old Irish cenél, Welsh cenedl, Old Welsh cenetl, Corl kinethel, *kenetlo-n: Indo-European qen, begin; Greek kainós, new ( @Gkanjós); Latin re-cens, English recent; Church Slavonic koni", beginning; Sanskrit kaná, young".[4]
