What is the meaning of the name Fiadh ?

The baby name Fiadh is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced FEE-ə (IPA: /ˈfiːə/).

Fiadh is Irish in Origin.

Fiadh (pronounced FEE-ah) is a modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic given name drawn from the Gaelic noun fiadh, a word with Old Irish roots (fíad) meaning “wild, untamed,” and by extension “wild game” or “deer.” The name carries a strong woodland, nature-bound resonance in both languages, where fiadh still denotes deer or venison and evokes the untamed countryside.

As a personal name, Fiadh was scarcely recorded in earlier centuries, emerging only in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as part of the revival of Irish-language names. It has risen rapidly in the Republic of Ireland and is now common in contemporary birth records, with growing use in Scotland as well. Variants and spellings include Fíadh (with fada) and the related short form Fia; informal nicknames like Fi also appear. Despite phonetic similarity, it is unrelated to Fiona or Fianna.
