The meaning behind this popular Irish name is incredibly sweet

Kat O'Connor

We adore this Irish name

Irish names will always be popular on our little island, but some tend to come in and out of style.

Niamh was incredibly popular for babies born in the 90s but it has now been beaten to the top spot by Fiadh.

The name has become incredibly popular in recent years, but there’s one Irish name that has always been our personal favourite.

And it may not be one you would’ve considered before.

Names like Fiadh, Saoirse, Niamh and Aoife will always be loved, especially by Irish parents, but this lesser-known name is one worth considering if you’re expecting a baby girl.

The name Croía is one of our favourite ever Irish names and it’s mainly because of the beautiful meaning behind it.

The Irish name is the perfect choice for your little girl because it means ‘little heart’.

Croía is still well-loved by parents in Ireland.

According to reports, it placed 23rd on the list of most popular girl’s names in the Republic of Ireland.

Irish names really are incredibly special and it’s also a lovely way to honour our culture too.
