in reply to a message by Meriel
Aoife (pronounced EE-fa - also spelt Aife), is the name of a number of legendary Irish women (or goddesses). One was the second wife of the sea god Mannanan Mac Lir - or just Lir - and turned his 4 children to swans for 900 years. Also another Aiofe was the wife of the famous hero Cuchulain.
