Aoidh is Irish, Scottish Gaelic in Origin.
Aoidh is a Gaelic masculine name meaning "fire," closely related to Aodh and deriving from Old Irish Áed, the word for flame. The spelling Aoidh appears most often in Scottish and Irish Gaelic patronymics (MacAoidh "son of Aodh"), but is also used as a given name in modern Gaelic contexts. Bearers include numerous early medieval Irish rulers named Áed - such as Áed Findliath and Áed Oirdnide - and saints like Áed mac Bricc; in legend, Aodh is a child of Lir.
Variants and diminutives include Aodh, Áed/Aedh (older spellings), Aodhán/Aodhan (source of Aidan), Aodhagán/Aogán (source of Egan). Anglicized forms range from Hugh as a given name to surnames from Ó hAodha and Mac Aodha: Hughes, McHugh, McGee; MacAoidh yields the Scottish surname MacKay. The name has enjoyed revival with Irish- and Scottish-language naming and is typically pronounced like a long "ee" in Irish.
