Baby names are often deeply rooted in their country of origin’s cultural heritage, history, mythology, and meaning – and this is especially true when it comes to Irish names.
Many of the most popular Irish names for girls have been passed down through generations, reflecting Ireland’s deep connection to its Celtic roots.
Irish names, with their deep cultural significance and timeless appeal, continue to be favoured by parents.
According to NameBerry.com, one Irish girl’s name is rising in popularity in the country.
The beautiful name also carries a powerful meaning.
Fiadh, pronounced (Fee-a) is derived from the root word for “wild” in the Irish language.
Parents might also be drawn to the Anglicised form Fia. But Fiadh is just one of the gorgeous Irish girl’s names you might consider.
One popular name is Aoife (pronounced EE-fa). It’s a Gaelic origin name that means “beautiful” or “radiant,” reports the Irish Star.
In Irish mythology, Aoife was a warrior princess and is often associated with strength and bravery.
Made famous by the actress of the same name, Saoirse (pronounced SEER-sha) means “freedom” in Irish. Ciara (pronounced KEE-ra) means “dark-haired” or “black.”
It is derived from the male name Ciaran, and the feminine version became popular in Ireland due to St Ciara, a 7th-century saint known for her piety and charity.
