Aobh is typically pronounced like "Eve." This Irish name (often seen in the spellings Aobh or Aoibh) uses a pronounced "Eve" vowel sound, so a common approximation is /iːv/ or /eɪv/ depending on accent, with the consonants softly enunciated around it. If you’re aiming for a precise regional variant, you’ll hear slight differences between dialects in Ireland, but the standard modern Irish pronunciation aligns with the "Eve" sound. Key notes:
- Spelling variants: Aobh and Aoibh are related; Aoibh is a more common modern spelling, while Aobh is a compact form.
- Meaning commonly associated with beauty or radiance in Irish naming traditions.
- English-speaking contexts often adopt the pronunciation "Eve" to match the familiar given name Eve.
If you’d like, I can provide phonetic guidance tailored to a specific dialect (e.g., Munster, Leinster) or offer practice pronunciations using audio-style cues.
