I'm trying to find the meaning and Pronunciation for the name Sabia. I think another version may be Sabha. Thanks.

Neither seems to be Irish. Where did you find the name?

Ah. I remember now. This is the name of Oisín's mother in the story of Fionn Mac Cumhaill. I will dig out an Irish version and check.

Déarfainn gur 'Sadhbh' atá i gceist aici a Aonghuis. Ainm coitianta go maith a bhí ann, is cosúil, ach thit sé i gConnachta mar gheall ar an /au/ a d'fhág ar aon fhuaim ansin é leis an bhfocal Béarla 'sow'.
Ó dheas, thug sé ainm dráma dúinn leis an défhoghar eile, /ai/, Sive.

Áiríonn Ó Corráin Maguire, sa leabhar 'Gaelic Personal Names', an chiall 'sweet' leis.

Sin a cheapaimse chomh maith.

The name you are looking for is Sadhbh.

"Sive" is close to its pronunciation.

It is a very old name which is said to mean sweet.

Or in Connact, 'sow' (like a female pig) and might have once been like sew/sow (to sew a shirt, sow seeds) at some point in some places

Sadhbh would be pronounced "say-oo" [sˠeːuw] in Donegal, I think.

Sadhbh/Sadhbha: pronounced Seh-wah in Gweedore, Co Donegal. English equivalent is Sophia.

Is it etymologically related, or just equated with Sophia, like the way you read Charles = Cormac when it is not true

Unetymological ar fad. While it equates to Sophia in the Gweedore area, elsewhere it can sometimes equate to Sarah, which is normally considered as the English version of Sorcha - also unrelated etymologically but not a million miles apart phonetically.

Ó thaobh na sanasaíochta de:

Sadhbh < sadba (Sean-Gh.) < so + adba = dea-adhbha = good abode

Sorcha < sorcha ≠ dorcha = geal

"An seanchas gearr,
an seanchas is fearr."
