For a Celtic baby girl. (Not mine). What's the best spelling? Would Welsh spelling Befen be better?

I’ve never heard this name and I really don’t know how I’d spell it.

Where will she grow up?

Mother-tongue Welsh speaker here, and I've never heard of Befen. Bifan is welsh, and is anglicised to Bevan, but is "son of Ifan".
I'm not familiar with the irish name.

Never heard of the Welsh name (I'm in Wales) and from the title I thought it would be for a boy, so I'm not being very helpful, sorry!
