From an old Irish name Madb, "the cause of great joy" or "she who intoxicates." The great warrior queen of Connacht and embodiment of sovereignity she stars in Ireland's greatest epic "The Cattle Raid of Cooley" (read the legend). She left king Conchobhar Mac Nessa for Ailill because "you are a man without meaness, fear or jealousy, a match for my own greatness." But the couple quarrelled over who had the most possessions. Maebh's bull had defected to Ailill's herd and so she bought Daire's brown bull. When Daire went back on the deal she went to war with Cuchulainn (read the legend) and the province of Ulster to recover the bull.
Aoife
"beautiful, radiant, joyful." Known as the greatest woman warrior in the world, Aoife was the mother of Cuchulainn's (read the legend) only son, Connlach. Aoife Dearg ("Red Aoife") was a daughter of a king of Connacht who had her marriage arranged by St. Patrick himself.
In 2003 Aoife was the third most popular baby girl name in Ireland.

Aww, nice, cheers Dubz.
"she who intoxicates." Hehehe, I'll remember that one ;)
Half my family is from Ireland but they've all got the run-of-the-mill boring English-sounding names.
Don't knock the English names, for years one of my favourites was Bouadicia or Boudica as she's known now, But then the entamology of names has always fascinated me....
Aoife is basically Eva or Ava but I think it's wonderful how theses things translate... John, Eion, Owen, Ian, Alan, Jan, James, Seamus.
