Áine aw-nya This is an old Irish name that means "radiance". In Celtic mythology, Áine was the Queen of the Fairies. Or, depending on the source, she could have been a fertility goddess. This is currently a popular name in Ireland.
Aoife ee-fah Aoife can mean "beauty" or "joy". She was a warrior princess. The name also reminds one of the name Eve. Another popular name, up in the top ten of Irish baby names.
Berneen Meaning "little bear", and having the courage of a bear, this is a sweet name. It is related to the boy's name Bernard.
Éilis eye-lish or ay-lish This name connects with Alice, meaning "noble" or Elizabeth, meaning "God is my oath."
Éire air-ih/air-uh This is the name of a goddess who didn't want to be named after a country. No, she wanted a country to be named after her! And so the country was named Eire...land, or Ireland. And the Republic of Ireland is often called Eire.
Of course, you could also go with Erin, which also means "Ireland" - or why not go all the way and consider just Ireland as a name in itself?
Fáinne fawin-eye A lovely Irish baby name, meaning "ring of light" or "halo."
Keela - or Keeley, Keely or Keeli All these variants refer to a "great beauty."
Keelin/Caoilfhionn The second name is pronounced the same as the first. So now you have a very difficult choice! This name combines two words, "slender" and "fair."
Mairéad Mairighead ma-raid These are Irish forms of the name Margaret, originally a Greek name meaning "pearl."
Niamh neeve Niamh was the daughter of the god of the sea. Her name means "radiance" which may refer to her bright golden hair. Another very popular Irish baby name.
Orla/Órfhlaith Again, the second name is pronounced as the first. Well within the top one hundred baby names for girls in Ireland, her name means "golden lady" or "golden princess."
Radha row-ah This name has connections with the color red as well as the idea of having "vision." Her name also means "success" in Sanskrit, by the way!
Sinead shin-aid Just ahead of Orla in the baby name charts, Sinead is a Gaelic form of Jeanette or Janet. Which leads us back to Jane... and then John... and back through Latin and Greek to the Hebrew meaning of "God is gracious."
Siobhán shiv-awn This name is either a version of Susan, meaning "lily" or Jeanne - and so again to the meaning "God is gracious."
Vevila An unusual name, very pretty and dreamy. It refers to a "fair lady."
