A medieval researcher has revealed an Irish record of the murder of Abel by Cain that clarifies how the relatives of Cain were transformed into mermaids and leprechauns. This short record was found in a fifteenth-century Irish legitimate content, however the story itself appears to date from between the tenth and twelfth hundreds of years.
The content and an interpretation were distributed in a paper by Simon Rodway, "Mermaids, leprechauns and Fomorians: a center Irish record of the relatives of Cain," which can be found in the 2010 issue of Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies. Dr. Rodway, who educates at Aberystwyth University in Wales, looks into medieval Welsh and Irish writings.
In the content he found, a short entry relates the murdering of Abel, and how God rebuffs Cain: God made five bumps on Cain after the executing of Abel, i.e. a bump on his temple, and an irregularity on each of two cheeks, and a protuberance on each of his two hands; this was put as a sign for the posterity of Adam and for instance to them by virtue of the murder that Cain had done… Ambia daugter of Cain, she had the state of a lady and the tail of a fish; so she could venture to every part of the ocean and the land; and she was once dozing under the ocean and a trout squirted its bring forth into her mouth so that there was product of that, and she brought forth twenty-two kids, ie. two of them were of extremely extraordinary size and twenty little offspring of the young lady, ie Formoir was the man and Ispela the young lady. It was sung worried that:
Bec child of a trout, reasonable his foot
The littlest kid there was.
Becnait, she was the impressive ruler
From whom is the line of the leprechauns
The name Fomoir is likely connected with the Fomorians, a race of mammoths that were said to have occupied Ireland in antiquated circumstances. This content is one of a few from the Middle Ages to partner this Irish myth to the scriptural story of Cain. Truth be told, a few medieval writings, both from Ireland and different parts of Europe, commented that different creatures were the relatives of Cain.
The causes of leprechauns go back to Irish society customs, with medieval writings portraying a devilish pixie animal who could concede wishes.
