Sadhbh (pronounced "sive") is the Old Irish word for "sweetness" or "goodness." In Irish mythology, Sadhbh was the wife of Fionn mac Cumhaill and mother of Oisín — transformed into a deer by a druid's curse. She is one of the central figures of the Fenian Cycle.
Among the most popular feminine names in modern Ireland.
Sadhbh does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Sadhbh reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
