Aifric

Aifric is a traditional Irish feminine name with ancient Gaelic roots. The name means 'pleasant' or 'agreeable' and is derived from the elements 'aoibh' (beauty, pleasantness) and 'ric' (ruler). In Irish mythology and history, Aifric appears in several traditional tales. While relatively uncommon outside Ireland, the name has maintained steady usage within Ireland as families seek to preserve cultural heritage. Its pronunciation (EE-frik or AY-frik) may present challenges internationally, but its distinctive character appeals to parents looking for an authentic Irish name with historical depth. In modern times, Aifric has seen modest revival as interest in Celtic names has increased.

Pronounced AY-frik.
