Fiadh is a given name for a girl. It is Irish in origin, coming from a word meaning "deer"<ref></ref>, "wildness" but also "respect".<ref></ref>
== Origins ==
Fiadh was largely unknown as a given name in the twentieth century, although the Irish word was known in the context of the [[fulacht fiadh]] and the word for a deer.
Irish given names for children experienced a spike in popularity after [[Second Vatican Council|Vatican II]] when societal and parochial pressure to give saint's names to children was eased. Many of the Irish language origin names which were popular in the 1960s and 1970s (such as [[Sinéad]], Deirdre or [[Emer]]) were out of fashion by the end of the century after reaching critical mass. Fiadh was part of a subsequent wave of names that became popular in the post [[Celtic Tiger]] period when the [[Irish language]] was perceived to have more social cache.<ref></ref>
== Popularity ==
The name Fiadh first registered on the Republic of Ireland's [[Central Statistics Office (Ireland)|CSO]]'s name database in [[2002 in Ireland|2002]], with three incidences noted. This had multiplied tenfold by 2011 and the name entered the national top ten by [[2018 in Ireland|2018.]] By [[2020 in Ireland|2020]] it was the second most popular feminine given name in Ireland, attracting media analysis. <ref></ref><ref></ref>
