Áine

Similar in sound to Anya and Enya, Áine is a mythical Irish choice, associated with the goddess of summer, wealth, beauty, love, and fertility. It is a familiar choice in Ireland and Northern Ireland, where it flits in and out of the Top 100, while in England and Wales, it was a Top 1000 choice back in the 2000s.

Associated with County Limerick and the village and hill Knockainey, which is name for her, the goddess was also connected to the sun, red mares, midsummer, and agriculture, making this a fitting choice for a summer baby. It also gives the name a sweet yet outdoorsy feel.

Pronounced as awn-yuh or an-ya depending on regional dialect, the name has also been Anglicized to Aine.

Pronounced AW-nuh.
