It's an Irish name.

How long would it take to drive from Calais to Barcelona?

"About 18 hours" was the answer here. Having done this trip many times, I'll expand that a little. If you pick your time of travel with care, use the toll roads, and stop only for fuel, then 15 hours is achievable. This is what I prefer to do: depart Calais 0200, arrive Barcelona 1700. However, this is not exactly a relaxing journey and it can be a hard drive.

If you prefer something more relaxing then 18 hours is probably too little to allow. I believe that coach services allow double this.
