This was a popular name in early Ireland, borne by both saints and kings. In Celtic mythology, Fiacra was the name of one of the three children of the sea god Lir, who was changed into a swan by his stepmother Aoife. Saint Fiachra of Meaux, a 7th century Irish hermit who settled in France, is a patron saint of travelers and of gardeners because of his skill in growing  vegetables in his garden. The name is still well used in Ireland; Fiacre is the French spelling, Feary is an Anglicized form. 
<p>Trivia tidbit: Hotel Saint-Fiacre in Paris was named after him, and taxis operating outside it came to be called <em>fiacres</em>, a name later given to cabs in general.
