What Is A Leprechaun?

A leprechaun is a supernatural fairytale figure that exists in Irish folklore.

The word Leprechaun is derived from the Irish word “luchorpan”, which means “a very small body.”

Leprechauns are usually portrayed as little bearded men, clad in a coat and hat. Also, they are often funny and mischievous.

Many decades ago, Leprechauns were classified as lonely figures and cobblers who mend their own shoes, rather than that of others.

They run about consistently until they wear their shoes out.

In recent times, the media including films, and television have portrayed Leprechauns in a different light, far from its original resemblance.

Several Celtic Music groups have used the term “Leprechaun LeperKhanz” as album titles, while others use the mythological character.

Leprechauns are known for sayings like “Bricks and mortar make a house, but the laughter of children makes a home”, and “Don’t break your shin on a stool that is not in your way.”
