Count: 0 — No authentic Irish girl names that start with V were found. This list targets female given names of clear Irish/Gaelic origin, and none meet the criteria because traditional Irish spelling rarely uses the letter V. As an interesting detail, Irish often represents the /v/ sound with the letters bh or mh instead of a V, so many familiar Irish names produce a /v/ sound without beginning with the letter V.

Recognize that the historical Gaelic alphabet and orthography did not include V as a native initial letter, and English and Latin influence introduced V into Irish spelling only later. Consult authoritative sources such as Ó Corráin, Foras na Gaeilge, and Irish civil registries and you will find the same pattern: native Irish names beginning with V are essentially absent. Treat any purported “V‑initial” Irish names with caution unless they are documented anglicisations or modern borrowings.

Consider these close alternatives instead of a native V name: Siobhán (shi‑VAWN) — “God is gracious”; Béibhinn (BAY‑vin) — “fair, melodious”; Aoibheann (EE‑van) — “beautiful, pleasant.” Or choose well-documented borrowings that begin with V and are used in Ireland (Vera, Veronica, Vanessa, Victoria) while noting they are not of original Gaelic origin. Consult the cited references when you need verified origin, spelling, pronunciation, and historical attestation.
