Aoife (/ˈiːfə/ EE-fə, Irish: [ˈiːfʲə]) is an Irish and Gaelic feminine given name. The name is derived from the Irish Gaelic aoibh, which means "beauty" or "radiance". It has been compared to the Gaulish name Esvios (Latinized Esuvius, feminine Esuvia), which may be related to the tribal name Esuvii and the theonym Esus.
