ArchivesRe: Origin and Meaning
in reply to a message by Ismene
I like Ferelith and I found this before - http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Ferelith.html
I don't know what Forbflaith means. The -flaith element could be princess as in Orfhlaith. I wonder was it spelled Forbhfhlaith.

My internet quest for Ferelith ... caveat emptor
The spellings Forbhlaith, Forbhflaith, Ferneleth, Forflissa, Forueleth, Ferueleth, Forbflaith appear in various places.
A reference I've found online citing records of maybe 4 people named:

claims that Forbhflaith means "perfect princess" ... dunno.
