Not true (the \\\"means love\\\" part). Yes, \\\"Ahava\\\" means \\\"love\\\", but that\\\'s with a \\\"heh\\\" (ה) soft-H, \\\"אהבה\\\". \\\"Ahab\\\" uses a different letter, for a rough \\\"ch\\\" sound (like \\\"loch\\\"): \\\"אחאב\\\". (That\\\'s spelled with a \\\"ח\\\", the \\\"ch\\\" sound.) Etymologically, the two have nothing to do with each other. (The actual etymology of Ahab\\\'s name is unknown.)
In Hebrew, the name wouldn\\\'t be \\\"ironic\\\", because to a Hebrew speaker, \\\"achav\\\" (the king\\\'s name) doesn\\\'t sound enough like \\\"ahava\\\" (\\\"love\\\") for there to be confusion, or even a pun. And in Greek/Latin/English, \\\"Ahab\\\" doesn\\\'t sound like \\\"love\\\", either. It\\\'s only ironic if you know just a \\\'\\\'tiny\\\'\\\' bit of Hebrew.
