Gormfhlaith (Irish pronunciation: [ˈɡɔɾˠəmˠˌlˠa]; Old Irish: Gormflaith) is an Irish language feminine given name meaning "blue princess" or "illustrious princess".
Gormfhlaith is also a Gaelic mythological personification of Ireland. The word Gormfhlaith is a compound of the Irish words gorm ("blue") and flaith ("sovereign").
Gormfhlaith is noted in early Irish texts as the name of several queens closely connected with dynastic politics in 10th- and 11th-century Ireland, and was one of the most popular Irish feminine given names between the 8th and 16th century.
