There are about 400 surviving orthodox inscriptions on stone monuments in Ireland and western Britain, the largest of these in southern Munster. The largest number outside Ireland is in Pembrokeshire in Wales. The vast majority of inscriptions consist of personal names.

The ogam or ogham The etymology of the word remains uncertain. One possible origin is from the Irish og-úaim ‘point seam’, referring to the seam formed by the tip of a sharp weapon.
