Lia adds:

I believe that in Irish Gaelic it's much the same:  "selkie".  This
implies a person who is transfigured, though, I think.  The Irish word
for seal is "ron" (with an accent over the o).  Also, the Irish name
"Ronan" means "little seal".  :-)

Lia, whose name is another word for "stone" in Gaelic
