Aine

• Irish name pronounced AWN-yah. Flows beautifully.
• (awn-ya) I found this name in a dictionary reference section once, years and years ago, and fell in love with it. She will forever be asked how to pronounce her name, but I think it's beautiful!
• I took this as my path name when I went into Druidry (though I will change to another name once I've gotten to a higher level of study) because of it's musical sound. Plus, you've got to love a Celtic name that isn't spelled the way most of us would think! It means brilliant
• This is a great ancient Irish name. To be honest it is pronounced (AWN-ya), but I like Aine as it's spelled too.
• Very dramatic sounding

Áine is a very old Irish name meaning "radiance; splendor; brilliance." It was the name of an early Celtic goddess. It is pronounced /AWN yeh/, and was often anglicized Annie, Ann, Anna, and Hannah, though it bears no etymological relation.
