Fiadh

Fiadh is a given name for a girl. It is Irish in origin, coming from a word meaning "deer", "wildness" but also "respect".
Origins.
Fiadh was largely unknown as a given name in the twentieth century, although the Irish word was known in the context of the fulacht fiadh and the word for a deer.
Irish given names for children experienced a spike in popularity after Vatican II when societal and parochial pressure to give saint's names to children was eased. Many of the Irish language origin names which were popular in the 1960s and 1970s (such as Sinéad, Deirdre or Emer) were out of fashion by the end of the century after reaching critical mass. Fiadh was part of a subsequent wave of names that became popular in the post Celtic Tiger period when the Irish language was perceived to have more social cache.
Popularity.
The name Fiadh first registered on the Republic of Ireland's CSO's name database in 2002, with three incidences noted. This had multiplied tenfold by 2011 and the name entered the national top ten by 2018. By 2020 it was the second most popular feminine given name in Ireland, attracting media analysis.
