The word "fae" and "faerie/fairy" actually comes originally from the Latin word "fate", referring to the 3 Fates, which are spin offs on the Moirai and various other IndoEuropean personifications of time. So .. technically the Irish culturally appropriated it from the Romans... 😜

My personal favourite personifications are the Norns, because their names are cool. Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld (literally: happened, happening, and "should" happen ... 3 very happening babes).
