About Edain

Edain is a rare masculine name with Celtic origins, particularly associated with Irish mythology. In Irish legend, Edain (or Étaín) was a beautiful fairy woman who was transformed into a butterfly and featured in several romantic tales. Though traditionally a feminine name in mythology, it has occasionally been used for boys in modern times. The name has a mystical quality with its mythological connections and melodic sound. Edain remains quite uncommon, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking a name with Celtic roots and an air of mystery. Its pronunciation (typically EH-dain or eh-DAIN) gives it a gentle yet distinctive sound.

Pronounced EH-dayn; AY-dayn.
