Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
Wikipedia says the Irish queen Medb is thought to have been a sovereignty goddess originally, and one proposed meaning of the name ('she who intoxicates', mead-woman) refers to an intoxicating drink. Today it is used as an ordinary Irish name. Low confidence: a scholar's call.
Confidence: low
