No Whoresky households in Griffith's.
| Ó Fuaruisce | Whoriskey: líon beag: Tír Chonaill & rl. Leagan d'Ó Fuarghuis (nach maireann). Tá Whiriskey orthu i nGaillimh agus na leagain ghallda Waters, Watters go for-leathan. Féach Ó h-Uaruisce, leis. MIF & SGG. |
| Ó Tuairisc | rare: Conamara. Ir.Lang. See Waters. |
| Ó Tuairisc | tá meascadh mór sloinnte romhainn nuair a bhreathnaimíd ar Ó Tuairisc, Óh-Uarghuis, Ó Fuaruisce, Mac Con Uisce. Taobh amuigh den cheann deireannach níl an focal uisce i gceist in aon chor! Is cosúil gur claochlú ar Ó h-Uarghuis an leagan Ó Tuairisc atá i bhfeidhm i gConamara. Ciallaíonn Uarghus: fuar + gus (fuar + fuinneamh) agus tá an sloinne le fáil i gClochar (Fear Manach). Tá Fuaruisc ar aon dul leis sin agus críochnaímíd leis na leagain gallda: Waters, Watters. An scríbhneóir Eoghan Ó Tuairisc (1919-1982), as Gaillimh, bhí Eugene Watters air i mBéarla (scríobh sé sa dá theanga). Tá na leagain eile ann: Whoriskey, Tourish, Caldwell & rl. MIF. |
| Whiriskey | rare: S Galway. Probably variant of Whoriskey, q.v. |
| Whoriskey | Quite numerous: Donegal-Derry-Tyrone, Galway. Ir. Ó Fuaruisce which is probably a corruption of Ó h-Uarghuis (cold-strength). MacLysaght examines this complicated network of names in More Irish Families. |
