Shae is a derivation of the Irish name Shea, which translates to ‘full of majesty.’ It is a short and convenient spell variant of the ancient name Ségdae. It also has Aboriginal and Gaelic origins, and means ‘hawk’ and ‘admirable,’ respectively.
The hawk was the symbol of the Celtic God Bran and there are various legends involving Bran across Britain and Ireland. Bran is believed to be a giant, a king of warriors, and a divine power. He reigned over Britain from his throne in Wales as “Bran the Blessed,” the King of the Island of the Mighty. The legends of Bran is often compared with the Greek legend of Jason and the Golden Fleece, who was the son of Febal and went to the “Otherworland Isles.”

The Shea family has a long history in County Kerry, which was formerly known as County Desmond and is in the Munster province of southwest Ireland.
