Gender: Feminine
Pronunciation: AY-va
Meaning: Chava - to breath, to live
Éabha is the Irish form of Eve. Adam and Eve are called Ádhamh agus Éabha in Irish. Éabha is derived from Eva, the Latin form of Eve, which in turn originates from the Hebrew name Chava, which comes from a Hebrew word meaning "to breath", or "to live". It is traditionally interpreted as "living".
Éabha has never been rare in Ireland, and it has become more popular in recent years because of the soaring popularity of the English name Ava in the USA, Ireland and other Anglophone countries. In 2008, Ava ranked at #1 (!) and Éabha ranked at #53 for most popular baby girls' names in the Republic of Ireland. Éabha might appeal to parents who love Ava, and want their daughter to have a traditional Irish name.
In the Gaelic type, this name is written Éaḃa.
