In
Irish mythology,
Niamh is the daughter of the god of the sea,
Manannán mac Lir and one of the queens of
Tír na nÓg, the land of eternal youth. She was the lover of the poet-hero
Oisín. The first recorded use of Niamh (that spelling) as a given name in modern Ireland was in 1911, when two children were registered with the name and when a Niamh was listed in that year's
census.[4][5][6]
