Gobnait is the Irish form of Latin Abigail. Saint Gobnait of Ballyvourney (5th-6th c.) was the Irish beekeeper-saint of County Cork — patroness of beekeepers, ironworkers, and County Cork. An angel had told her: "Settle where you see nine white deer grazing" — she found them at Ballyvourney, where the medieval church of Cill Ghobnait still stands.
Her well at Ballyvourney remains a pattern day pilgrimage site each February 11.
Gobnait does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Gobnait reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
