<p>Meadhbh is a feminine Irish name pronounced approximately as "Mayv" or "Maeve." It's the original Gaelic spelling of the more commonly seen Maeve. The name derives from the legendary warrior queen Meadhbh of Connacht in Irish mythology, who was known for her strength, independence, and determination. The name means "she who intoxicates" or "she who brings joy," suggesting someone captivating or exhilarating. While the traditional spelling Meadhbh is primarily used in Ireland, particularly in Irish-speaking regions, the anglicized Maeve has gained international popularity. The name carries associations of feminine power, leadership, and ancient Celtic heritage. Parents choosing this traditional spelling often have strong connections to Irish culture and language, valuing authenticity over ease of pronunciation for non-Irish speakers.</p>
