Aodh

Meaning: (Fire, Fiery, Spirit, Brightness, Splendor, From the old Irish name Áed, which meant "fire". This was a very popular name in early Ireland, being borne by numerous figures in Irish mythology and several high kings. Modern form of the Old Gaelic name Aed. Mythology: name of the Celtic sun god. It was a common personal name since long ago, and from the later Middle Ages onwards, was commonly anglicized as Hugh and Eugene. This name is the source form of Aidan and McCoy.)

Origin: (Celtic, Irish, Scottish, Gaelic, Irish Mythology)

Pronunciation: (EE, AY, IY)

Gender: Male

It is a diminutive for Egan *see on list of posts* but I decided to add them as two different names as I often do because even as diminutives or variants a name can look so very drastically different. This name has nice strong meanings. It has a nice long use and could be used because of its history, mythology, just the nice look of the name. Or it could be a character name but they use one of the anglicized names when maybe in another country. I don’t however like the pronunciation, it is just two letters. Maybe with the proper accent it might sound alright but to me it doesn’t sound right. But when looking up Fire names I found this and it has been a name I had wanted to add for sometime but forgot about until I was looking up Fire names.
