AINÈ.
Pronounced Awna. Old Irish name variously rendered by
authors: "harmony, melody, music" (Charnock, see Auna);
"joy" or "praise," and
also "fasting" (Yonge). This was the name of a granddaughter of
King Lear,
and sister to Aoidheal.
... Ainè,
the daughter of Eogah-hal, was looked on as queen of the fairies of
South Munster, and her abode was said to be Cnoc Aine or Knockany,
the Hill of Aine, in county Limerick...
... Ainè
continued to
be a favourite name in Ireland for many centuries; but in later times it
has become the practice to Anglicize it as Anna
and Hannah,
and possibly Anastasia,
though this may have more directly from the Greek. In 705 reigned
a Scottish king called Ainbhceallach the Good... It is evident then that
Ainè came to Scotland with other Gaelic names.
