Dia Dhuit, Mystic Mead,

Billingsley: As in Barbara Billingsley? Definitely Anglo-Saxon and topographical in origin. Ley (or Leigh) means "field" or "meadow." So, we have Billing's Field. (Whoever Billing was). A Gaelic transliteration would be de Billínslidh (pronounced DE BILL-EENS-LEE).

West: Obvious meaning, "one who is from the West." Iarthar (pronounced EE-UR-HAR) is the Irish word for "west." Iartharach (EE-UR-HAR-AKH) means "westerner." Two pseudo-patronymic could be created: Mac an tIarthair meaning "son of the West" (MAC AN TEE-UR-HER), or Mac an tIartharaigh "son of the westerner" (MAC AN TEE-UR-HAR-EE).
