What is the meaning of the name Aoibh ?

The baby name Aoibh is a Female name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced EEV (IPA: /iːv/).

Aoibh is Irish in Origin.

Aoibh is an Irish Gaelic feminine name taken directly from the noun aoibh, meaning “beauty, radiance, pleasantness,” and by extension “delight.” It continues Old Irish óeb/óibh “fair, beautiful.” The name conveys brightness and cheerful charm in Irish literary usage. As a lexical given name, Aoibh reflects the Irish habit of turning poetic qualities into personal names.

The element aoibh has long appeared within Irish names - most notably in Aoife and Aoibhinn - but standalone Aoibh entered regular use in Ireland only in the late 20th century amid the revival of Irish-language forms. Use is strongest in Ireland and the diaspora. Variants and elaborations include Aoibhe, Aoibheann/Aoibhéann, and Aoibhín/Aoibhinn; Aoife is a related form rather than a strict variant. Sound-based Anglicizations include Eve or Eva, though etymologies differ.
