Airmid, in Irish mythology, was a healing goddess, one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. With her father, [name]Dian[/name] Cecht, and brother, Miach, she healed those injured in the Second Battle of Magh Tuiredh.
As beautiful a name as Airmid is in its original form, I really need help anglicizing it, similar to how [name]Brighid[/name] becomes [name]Bridget/name.
Any suggestions?
[name]How[/name] do you pronounce it? Looking online I’ve found several options, from “ahr-midge” to “ehr-he-me”.
Anyways, Airmid doesn’t seem to have a standard anglicised form (or to be common in [name]Ireland[/name]).
I’m also unsure of the pronunciation - I’ve never heard of this name before. I love the connection to Irish mythology however.
[name]EDIT[/name]::
Here, the word [name]January[/name] is being pronounced in Gaelic. The ‘air’ ending is apparently ‘arr’
http://www.forvo.com/word/hugh_mc_diarmid/#en < That’s how you say the ‘mid’ part. Kind of like a smoosh of ‘met/mut/mot’
Together these would make the pronunciation of Airmid = ‘arr-met’. Therefore, Armet/Ahmet/Aremet would mostly likely be the closest you could write Airmid in English.
I second Renrose suggestion, Armet/Aremet would be your best bet
