  4. Aoibhinn
    • Origin:

      Variation of Aoibheann, Irish
    • Meaning:

      "beautiful sheen"
    • Description:

      Aoibhinn and its twin name Aoibheann may be popular in Ireland but most English-speakers would find the spelling baffling and the pronunciation impossible to divine. It's ee-van, or se-vin, fitting with the Irish popularity of many names -- Aoife, Eabha, Ava -- with this similar sound.

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "beautiful sheen"

      Anglicized spelling of the difficult-to-decipher Gaelic Aoibheann, the name of several Irish princesses, this name rhymes with Steven. Eavan Boland is a distinguished Irish poet who teaches at Stanford University.
  6. Aoibhin
    • Origin:

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "beautiful sheen"
    • Description:

      A slimmed down spelling of the more traditional Aoibheann. It's a beautiful name, growing in popularity in Ireland, but the spelling and pronunciation might (will) throw off some non-Irish natives.
  7. Eaven
    • Origin:

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "beautiful sheen"
    • Description:

      Anglicized form of the Irish name Aoibheann, which is also in use in Ireland itself. Eavie/Evie would make an adorable short form.
