The Myth: People with Big Blue Eyes & Dark Hair. Irish & Roman Catholic decent. Pretty much the most stunning combination wether it be on a Lady or a Gent. The Unicorns of the Human World.

A mostly antiquated term that was used predominately in the U.S. and
Canada refering to people of Irish descent
who have black hair.

Most of the stories about the black Irish are myths. They are just people of Irish descent. Not all Irishmen have red hair and freckles.

Some Irish person mistakenly believed to be decended from Spanish Armada Sailors, or Barbary pirates (Sack of Baltimore). More likely decended from Mesolithic Basque people (genetic markers give high indication). Term is used in America but mostly unheard of in Ireland.

1)Real Irishmen. Not Blondes or Ginger Snaps with freckles or any garbage like that. Despite popular belief, Black Irish is not from Spain, because the ORIGINAL Celtic inhabitants of the British Isles all had black hair, the Celts being from Gaul (France, hence the language Gaelic) so they had black hair. The only reason why most Scotch-Irish people have blond or red hair and freckles is because of the humungous Viking and Saxon influence. Therefore, Black Irish is the Real Irish. The End.

Full Irish men who have dark black hair instead of the stereotypical red hair and freckles. Origin: in 1600's after the Spanish Armada was obliterated; sailors washed upon the Irish shores, not being able to speak any Gaelic were able to reproduce and had children with black hair.
That little Murphy boy doesn't have hair like his brothers, he is a black Irish, that or his mother's a whore.
