The Irish word for ice "oighear" is similar to Welsh for snow "eira". The Irish is sometimes "oighre", which is pronounced the same as the Welsh.
It isn't used as a name but I think "Sneachta" (snow) might be once in a while.

@Keleshey , it depends if you are treating it as a Welsh word or not. The Welsh word for snow isn't Eye-ra.

Not all Welsh folk pronounce it the same way though.
Mother-tongue Welsh speakers would not say it Eye-ra, because it's a phonetic language.
It's like saying snow rhymes with know. It doesn't and it's insulting or ignorant to say it does.

I'm glad you asked. 😂

A girl's name from Scandinavia:

Snøfrid or Snefrid (Snø/Sne means snow, "frid" means beautiful).

Also, "snow" absolutely does rhyme with "know". I am also trying to think of how that could possibly be either insulting or ignorant. Someone speaking a different dialect where they rhyme (in which dialect don't they rhyme?), is neither of those things.

What? Snow does rhyme with know.

How is it ignorant - dialects in the same language pronounce things different

Thank fuck, coz I was proper confused 😂

Still not sure it is ignorance to pronounce things differently - see scone and scone.
