Adorable Irish baby girl name with beautiful meaning is trending in the UK

And just like we love the history and feel of these names, so do parents outside of Ireland as well. In fact, Irish baby names are now trending in several countries across the world. And right now, in the UK, there is one particular Irish baby girl name parents are loving.

And it is all sorts of cute.

According to Netmums, the name Ériu, which is Irish for Ireland, is currently climbing the charts in the UK.

The moniker, which dates back to Celtic civilisation, is pronounced like "aru" or "eru", and is based on the goddess of Ireland, a powerful female presence associated with power and influence.

The story of Ériu goes that she and her sisters have intuitive powers and somehow sensed that Ireland was set to be invaded. The sisters then proceeded to stop the rivals in their tracks, and Ireland was then named in their honour, after Ériu.

Not the only Irish baby girl name trending

We love the name Ériu, but it is not the only Irish baby girl name climbing the charts with British parents.

According to baby name website NameBerry.com, the name Fiadh is also gaining popularity in England and in Wales too.

The moniker, which is pronounced Fee-a, is derived from the Irish word for "wild" or "untamed."

Since 2020, the name Fiadh entered the top 1,000 UK baby, names and has been slowly rising ever since. Here in Ireland, the name is already in our top 10 list, and has actually been among the top five Irish baby girl names since 2019.
