Irish Gaelic. Leprechaun means 'one shoe maker' because if you do happen to come upon a leprechaun unawares he will be deeply absorbed in the activity of working on one shoe, never a pair.
The word "leprechaun" comes from the Irish term "leipreachán," which means "small-bodied fellow." Leprechauns are mischievous mythical creatures in Irish folklore often depicted as shoemakers who hide their pots of gold at the end of rainbows.
