Eabha

Eabha is a feminine given name of Irish origin. It is the Gaelic form of Eve/Eva, derived from the Hebrew name Chavvah meaning "life."

In Irish, the traditional spelling is Éabha, with the fada; Eabha is a common Anglicized form used in Ireland and among Irish communities abroad.

Pronunciation: Éabha is typically pronounced roughly "AY-va" in Irish. English speakers may render it differently, with variations such as "AY-vuh" or "EE-vah" depending on dialect.

Usage and significance: The name has gained popularity in Ireland since the late 20th century as part of a broader revival of Gaelic given names. It remains a relatively uncommon but established choice.

Related names include Eva and Eve. The name Eabha reflects the broader pattern of Gaelic forms of Biblical or Hebrew names that have been integrated into Irish naming practices.
