Sorry, what is "Celtic"? Not heard of that language! Now, there are plenty of Celtic languages at the time of the mod, but there never was nor is any single a Celtic language. It's like saying: "How do you pronounce/say exiled one in European?".
Anyway, it's Irish Gaelic you have there... I don't think it's Old Irish either, I think that's modern, but from what I know of Gaelic I'd pronounce it like:
Ceann - "Can"/"Caun"/"Cawn"
Deoraiocht - "Joe/Ja-ree-Ocht/Acht" - "ch" being the same as Loch
Sources: Being from the Highlands. That's enough.

Sorry, I don't understand?
Deoraíocht (Old Irish deoraidecht) means "exile" as in "the state of having been forced into exile", not "the person who has been exiled". The word you're looking for is deoraí (Old Irish deorad). No need to use ceann.
edit: also it's not a name, and it's not "devastating".

"Exiled One" is more of a title - and not a good one, especially in Medieval society.
I'm telling you, you don't need to translate "one". In Old Irish you'd either say in deorad, "the exile", or in deoradach, "the exiled (one)". In Modern Irish, an deoraí would do just fine. If you absolutely want to use the same construction as in English, you'd say something like an ceann ionnarbtha, I think, but that would be very clumsy and sound even less like a plausible nickname (emphasis on nickname; it is NOT a name in any case).

Just.. Just get out. You're insulting my ancestors.
