The perfect choice for your ‘little star,' we spotted a gorgeous Irish baby name that was used less than three times last year that parents everywhere are sure to love.
When it comes to choosing the right name for your little one, the options seem endless – but, if you’re on the hunt for a unique Irish moniker that is on the rare side, we have found a gem for you!
Réalta
Réalta, pronounced "rayle-tah," is a beautiful Irish baby name meaning "star."
Another lovely version of the name is Réaltín, pronounced "rayle-cheen" which means "little star."
An adorable choice for your bouncing baby girl, alternatively you can forgo the traditional fadas and opt for Realta or Realtin.
Popularity of the name Réalta
On Irish naming lists, Realta is so rare that it has only appeared once on the charts since records began in 1964. A name needs to be given to at least three little girls in any given year in order to be charted in Ireland.
According to Ireland's Central Statistics Office, it was used less than three times in 2023 which makes it the perfect pick for mums and dads looking for something that won’t be commonly heard on the playground!
