Blathnaid Origin and Meaning

The name Blathnaid is a girl's name of Irish origin.

Blathnaid is a feminine Irish name with ancient Celtic roots. Pronounced roughly as 'BLAW-nid' or 'BLAH-nid,' it derives from the Irish word 'bláth,' meaning 'flower' or 'blossom.' The name carries associations with beauty, blooming, and natural vitality. In Irish mythology, Blathnaid was a notable female figure, adding a layer of cultural significance to the name. While common in Ireland, Blathnaid remains relatively rare outside of Celtic regions, partly due to its pronunciation being challenging for non-Irish speakers. The name embodies a strong connection to Irish heritage and language, making it a choice that honors Gaelic traditions while offering a distinctive alternative to more widely used floral names.
