      • Aife

        • Description:

          Aife (pronounced EE-fa) is an ancient Irish feminine name with deep roots in Celtic mythology. She was a formidable warrior woman from the Scottish islands who fought the legendary Irish hero Cú Chulainn. After being defeated, she bore him a son named Connla. The name Aife is thought to mean "radiant" or "beautiful" in Old Irish, though some sources associate it with meanings like "pleasant" or "joyful." While not commonly used for many centuries, Aife has seen modest revival in Ireland and among those with Irish heritage as part of the trend toward rediscovering authentic Celtic names. Its short, melodic sound and powerful mythological associations make it appealing for parents seeking a name with historical depth.
