Dear Kristin,
Cumann na mBan means Women's Society and Cumann na nGaedheal Society of the Irish, but as far as I know, they were only ever known the Irish language versions of their names.

Subject: Translation Question
My name is Kristin Nelson and I am trying to finish my dissertation on Irish women at The University of Memphis. My advisor wants me to include an English translation for some of the groups I am studying. Can anyone help me with an English translation for Cumann na mBan or Cumann na nGaedheal?
Any help is appreciated.
