fiachrae is Irish in Origin.

Fiachrae is an archaic and Latinized spelling of the Irish masculine name Fiachra (Old Irish Fíachra), from fíach 'raven' (also 'hunt') plus a formative -ra/-rach, giving the sense 'raven' or 'raven-haired; hunter.' The spelling Fiachrae is found in medieval annals and hagiography; modern Irish standardizes the form as Fiachra.

The name was borne by notable early figures: Fiachra mac Eochaid Mugmedón, eponym of the Connacht dynasty Uí Fiachrach, and Fiachra, one of the swan-children in the tale of the Children of Lir. Through the 7th-century Irish monk Saint Fiachra, Latinized as Fiacrius and known in French as Saint Fiacre, it passed into continental usage. Variants include Fiachra (standard Irish), Fiacre (French), Fiacro (Spanish), and the related older forms Fiacha and Fiachna; short forms such as Fiach also occur. Today Fiachra remains in steady use in Ireland, with Fiachrae seen chiefly in historical contexts.
