Etain
Etain is an Irish origin name mostly given to girls in Ireland. The meaning of Etain is 'passion' and 'sparkling'. The name Etain is pronounced as ‘e + tane’ or ‘e-tain’ and even sounds like Eighteen. Etain is also associated with the Celtic sun goddess, derived from ‘et’, i.e., 'jealousy'. The other variants of the name Etain are Aideen, Aedin, Edain, Etaoin, Adaon, or Edaoin. ‘The wooing of Etain’ is one of the oldest, most popular, and richest of Irish Mythology in which Etain was a beautiful fairy that fell in love with the Fairy king Midir. Jealous of their relationship Midir’s first wife, ‘Fuamnach’, casts a spell on Etain and transforms her into a fly (in some references, it is a butterfly). Later on, Etain was reborn and married the High King of Ireland. Etain is also featured in the Middle Irish text ‘Togail Bruidne Da Derga’ (The Destruction of the Da Derga’s Hostel), which illustrates a colorful depiction of Etain’ the sun goddess' and her encounter with King Echu in ‘Bri Leith’. Etain is a very rare name now, even in Ireland.
