Sadhbh (also spelled Sadb, Saibh, Sadhb; Anglicised Sive or Saeve) is an Irish feminine personal name. Derived from Proto-Celtic *sŭādŭā ‘the sweet and lovely (lady)’ (adjective) [1], 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 suāvis, Tocharian B swāre and Modern English sweet.
