The name Macha is of Irish origin, derived from the Old Irish word 'Macha', which translates to 'strength' or 'power'. It is a unisex name, though it's more commonly used for females in Ireland and other parts of the world where it has gained popularity. The name has been popularized by the goddess Macha, who plays a significant role in Irish mythology. In some regions, Macha may also be associated with the legendary figure Macha of the Red Tresses, known for her speed and strength.
"The name Mache was quite popular in 1973 with six babies being named Mache that year."
