Gormflaith


Gormflaith (modern spelling: Gormfhlaith or Gormlaith) is an Irish language female given name meaning "blue princess" or "illustrious princess".

Gormfhlaith is also a Gaelic mythological personification of Ireland. The word Gormfhlaith is a compound of the Irish words gorm ("blue") and flaith ("sovereign").

Gormfhlaith is noted in early Irish texts as the name of several queens closely connected with dynastic politics in the 10th and 11th century Ireland, and was one of the most popular Gaelic-Irish female forenames between the 8th and 16th century.
