About Oonah

Oonah is a feminine name of Irish Gaelic origin, traditionally spelled 'Úna' in Irish. The name means 'lamb' or 'hunger' and was borne by several figures in Irish mythology, including the wife of Fionn mac Cumhaill. Some sources also connect it to the Latin 'una' meaning 'one' or 'unity.' Oonah carries a distinctly Celtic feel with its soft, flowing pronunciation and unusual letter combination. Despite its ancient origins, the name remains quite rare in modern usage, even in Ireland. This gives Oonah an air of mystique and individuality. The name's gentle sound contrasts with its strong cultural heritage, offering parents a name that is both soft and substantial, unusual yet historically grounded.

Pronounced OO-nuh.
