Modern Irish - tine; Old Irish - teine Scottish Gaelic - teine Manx - aile The name Áed is another word for 'fire'. Delbaeth means 'fire shape'.
The old Irish name Áedgen perhaps meaning 'born of Aed' or 'born of fire'.In a later spelling Aoidhghean [ee-an]. Another name of similar meaning and formation is Áedgna.
