Cáirbre is a feminine adaptation of the traditional Irish masculine name Cairbre (sometimes written as Carbry or Carbery). The name has deep roots in Irish mythology and history, appearing in several ancient tales. In Irish legend, Cairbre was the name of several kings and heroes, most notably Cairbre Lifechar, a High King of Ireland. The name is thought to derive from the Old Irish word 'coirpre,' possibly meaning 'charioteer.' The addition of the acute accent (fada) over the 'a' emphasizes the traditional Irish pronunciation. While historically a masculine name in Ireland, its adaptation as a feminine name represents a modern trend of repurposing traditional names across gender lines. Cáirbre offers a strong connection to Irish heritage while remaining extremely rare, especially as a feminine name.
