History: Banbha was one of three goddesses who exacted a promise from the invaders that the island would bear her name, as mentioned in the "Book of Invasions".
The book of Dromsneachta says that Banbha was the name of the first maiden who occupied Ireland before the deluge, and that Ireland is called Banbha from her.
Capa, Laighne, and Luasad pleasant, they were a year before the deluge on the isle of Banbha of the bays; they were eminently brave.

Banbha: (BAHN-na) A worrior goddess who protected Ireland from invaders, and one in a triplicity with Eire and Fodhla, who is the earth aspect whose name means, "land unplowed for a year." She was a gifted magician and, as such went out to meet the Milesian invaders when they first came to Ireland.
Banbha can enhance qualities of leadership, teach us to keep memories alive, and bless earth magic.
She was a daughter of the Dagda and Delbaeth, the maiden/spiritual part of a triplicity with Banbha and Foldha, and was the third of the three to be approached by the Milesian invaders.

Without documentation of the name being used by a real person, we cannot support this name submission.

The sixth name was Banbha, from a queen of the Tuatha (p.101) Dé Danann, that was in the land, who was called Banbha: it is she was wife to Mac Cuill, whose proper name was Eathúr.
These three kings held the sovereignty of Ireland each year by turns; and it is the name of the wife of each one of them would be on the island the year he was himself king.
It is why the island is called Eire oftener than Fódhla or Banbha, because that is the husband of the woman whose name was Eire was king the year the sons of Míleadh came there.

 How Ireland got its Name   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The fourth name was Eire, and this is from the name of the queen of the Tuatha DeDanann, that is to say Fodhla and Banbha.
Green and flourishing is the grass of the island, Thick are her nut-sweet woods, Plentiful the fruit upon the smooth hills, To depart from her is a cause of misery, To leave her is ground for weakness.
Sweet is the sound of her gentle wind Green Banbha enclosed by woods and sweet is the voice of her rivers, The speech of her birds is sleep-music enough, In that land abounding in salmon: Hail to the land of bright fountains.
