Irish baby names have always been popular in the USA

There are some pretty beautiful Irish baby names out there. For a small island, we certainly have a never-ending list of options for new mums and dads.

Irish baby names are proving so popular with parents around the world that they’re coming back into style after dwindling in popularity for years.

There’s one name in particular that suffered a huge drop in popularity in recent years but could become one of the most loved Irish baby names.

The name Maeve is seeing a spike in use in the USA and we’re not one bit surprised.

The stunning moniker has always been a favourite of ours. It’s a traditional, strong name with an even more beautiful meaning behind it.

Maeve is of Irish origin and means ‘intoxicating’. It also means ‘she who rules’ making it the perfect name for your daughter.

According to NameBerry, the name Maeve is swiftly becoming one of the most popular girl names in the States.

The baby name site also confirmed that Maeve is officially one of the trending girl names for 2024.

They confirmed: “We also see many ancient mythological names among the top names right now including Maeve and Luna, Finn and Freya.”

The name Maeve is a great option if you’re expecting a baby girl. It’s a classic name but it’s not overly used like other traditional names.
