Eubha

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Eubha: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2013.

Eubha is the Scottish Gaelic form of Eve or Eva, ultimately from the Hebrew Chawwah, meaning "life" or "living one." While no famous bearers spring instantly to mind, the name’s English equivalent, Eve, features strongly in biblical tradition as the first woman. The Scottish spelling links directly to the Gaelic language and its cultural revival, giving it a distinctly Highland flavour. No well-known places share the name, but Eubha remains a quietly beautiful choice for parents seeking a traditional yet uncommon Gaelic name for their daughter, one that feels both ancient and fresh.
