<p>Medbh is an ancient Irish feminine name, an alternative spelling of the more commonly seen Maeve. Derived from the Old Irish name Medb, meaning 'intoxicating' or 'she who intoxicates,' it carries significant cultural importance in Irish mythology. Queen Medb of Connacht was a powerful figure in the Ulster Cycle, known for her strength, independence, and warrior spirit. The spelling Medbh, though less common than Maeve internationally, remains authentic to Irish linguistic traditions, with the 'bh' producing a 'v' sound. This spelling has seen modest revival amid growing interest in authentic Celtic names. For parents seeking a name with deep historical roots and feminine strength, Medbh offers distinctive Irish heritage while honoring one of mythology's most formidable queens.</p>
