Would the feminine form of O'hAilbheartaigh become Ni hAilbheartaigh?

Very interesting name, Kat. :)

I believe the feminine form would Ní Ailbheartaigh. If memory serves, Ní does not prefix an initial h, as Ó does. Hence my own name is Ó hAireachtaigh and my sister's would be Ní Aireachtaigh.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Tá an ceart agat, a Dhomhnaill. Ní aspirates, and where there's aspiration there's no prefixed h.
