Órlaith is an Irish language female given name. The meaning of the name derives from Ór, meaning "Golden" and Flaith, meaning "prince" although as names with "flaith" suffixes are almost always exclusively feminine, this is usually interpreted as meaning "princess".

All spellings of the name are however pronounced the same, as "OR-la".
