Meaning of Deidre
Sorrow; Daughter
Deidre is derived from the Old Irish term Derdriu and is associated with the meaning ‘sorrow.’ However, it is possibly connected to the term ‘der’ which means ‘daughter.’ In Irish mythology, it belonged to a tragic figure who met a heartbreaking end. Deirdre was the daughter of Fedlimid mac Daill, the bard of Conchobar, the king of Ulster. Prior to her birth, Cathbad, the prominent druid at Conchobar mac Nessa’s court, made a prophecy regarding Fedlimid’s daughter. He foretold that she would possess exceptional beauty, but her existence would incite conflicts and battles among kings and lords, resulting in a significant loss of life. Furthermore, due to her influence, Ulster’s three most formidable warriors would be compelled to leave their homeland and go into exile.
