Fiachre is Irish in Origin.
Fiachre is an Irish Gaelic masculine name closely related to the standard Irish Fiachra, derived from Old Irish fiach meaning raven, a bird associated with insight and protection; by extension it can suggest raven-like or dark-haired. The French form Fiacre arose when the 7th-century Irish monk Saint Fiachra settled in Brie, and his name was naturalized in French.
Used in medieval Ireland and revived in the 19th-20th centuries, the name survives both as Fiachra in Ireland and as Fiacre in France; Fiachre is a rare hybrid spelling sometimes found in Anglophone records under Irish influence. Notable bearers include Saint Fiacre (patron of gardeners) and modern Irish figures such as Fiachra Trench. Variants and related forms: Fiachra (Irish), Fiacre (French), Fiach (short form), Fiacha (older Irish). Owing to the saint's cult in Paris, fiacre also became the French word for a hired cab, giving the name a distinctive cultural footprint.
