Yes. It's an Irish girls name, modern English pronunciation is Eva.
I wish I had the stones to use an old Celtic name like this, but I know we'd be dooming her to an eternity of "Spell that again?!? Your name is WHAT?!?"

Yes it's Irish. Means beauty. Pronounced Ee-fa. I Know several back home in Ireland. Unfortunately it gets mispronounced here. Ay-o-fa being the most common.
I have heard it on a child. She is about 9 years old, in the US. Different name, yes but those that matter will learn how to say and spell it correctly.
Re: Aoife
Agree with PP. I know it is a female Irish name, however I have no idea how to say it.
