Síofra Origin and Meaning

The name Síofra is a girl's name meaning "sprite, changeling".

A relatively modern (18th C) Irish Gaelic name, Síofra has its roots in superstition. In the past, when babies were born in Ireland their families feared that the fairies would steal the baby and leave an elven changeling child in its place. It’s an uncommon name now starting to pick up in its native country.
