Saidhbhín
Sadhbh ( sga, Sadb, italics=no, anglicised Sive) is an Irish feminine personal name. Derived from Proto-Celtic '(the) sweet and lovely (lady)', the name is cognate with the initial elements in the attested Gallic names ''Suadu-gena'' and ''Suadu-rix'' and with Sanskrit ''svādú-'', Ancient Greek ''hedýs'', Latin (compare Suada), Tocharian B ''swāre'' and Modern English ''sweet''. The town Cahersiveen in County Kerry roughly translates to 'The Fortress of Little Sadhbh'. The Whiteboys, a secret agrarian organisation in 18th century Ireland, referred to themselves as "Queen Sive Oultagh's children" ("Sive" or "Sieve Oultagh" being anglicised from the Irish ''Sadhbh Amhaltach'', or Ghostly Sally).
