AILBHE. Unisex.
Irish name meaning "rocky," from Gaelic ailbheach.
Also spelled Oilbhe.
In English, it is Alva,
Alvy, and Elva.
Tobar-Oilbhe,
i.e. Olvy's or Alvy's well; Oilbhe or Ailbhe being a woman's name
formerly common among the Irish. This name is now anglicised Tober-Elva,
and is that of a remarkable well, giving name to a townland in the
parish of Baslick, barony of Ballintober, and county of Roscommon, and
in the very centre of the plain of Magh-Aoi, or Machaire-Chonnacht.
In the translation of the Registry of Clonmacnoise, made for Sir James
Ware, by Duald Mac Firbis, this place is called Tober-Ilbhe. (Annals
of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters, v.4, 1851)
