The girl's name Aoife \ao(i)-fe\ is pronounced EE-fya. It is of Scottish, Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "beautiful, radiant". From "aoibh" meaning beauty. The name has also been associated with Esuvia, a Gaulish goddess, and was borne by several heroines in ancient Irish legend. Eva is the Anglicized form.
