I was looking up irish baby names for my friend due next week. I came across the name 'Sive'.?

How the heck do you pronounce it? Has anyone ever heard of it? Is it a new name?

I was looking up irish baby names for my friend due next week. I came across the name 'Sive'.?
'Sive' is an anglicised spelling of the ancient Irish name 'Sadb' (Middle Irish Gaelic (c900-c1200) spelling or 'Sadhbh' (Early Modern Irish Gaelic (c1200-c1700)


The name comes from an obsolete Irish word meaning 'sweet' and the pronunciation rhymes with 'hive'. As non-Irish speakers would rarely recognise the pronunciation it became spelt as it was pronounced - Sive, although the Irish spelling 'Sadhbh' is commonly used in Ireland. There were many famous Sadhbhs in Irish history, one being the daughter of the High King Brian Boru.
Reply:It rhymes with jive and should be spelled Sadhbh.
Reply:Apprently it is Irish pronouned siev meaning sweet.
