Aibell
In Irish legend Aibell (sometimes Aoibheall (modern Irish spelling), also anglicised as Aeval) was the guardian spirit of the Dál gCais, the Dalcassians or Ó Bríen clan. She was the ruler of a ''sídhe'' in north Munster, and her dwelling place was Craig Liath, the grey rock, a hill overlooking the Shannon about two miles north of Killaloe.〔Donal O'Sullivan, "Songs of the Irish," page 127.〕 Aibell also had a lover (called Dubhlainn Ua Artigan) and a magic harp (of which it was said "()hoever heard its music did not live long afterwards").〔 ==Name== The name Aoibhell may come from Gaelic ''aoibh'', meaning "beauty" (or ''aoibhinn'' "beautiful").〔 Alternatively, as a theonym it could be derived from Proto-Celtic *''Oibel-ā'', literally "burning fire", which may have been a byword for the notion of "ardour";〔q.v. () () ()〕 the Romano-British equivalent of this Proto-Celtic theonym is likely to have been *''Oebla''.〔q.v. () () () ()〕 A variant name for the character is Áebinn.〔James MacKillop, ''Dictionary of Celtic Mythology'', Oxford University Press, 1998, p. 3〕
