Aerin is in Origin.

Aerin is a modern English variant of Irish Erin, ultimately from Éirinn, the dative of Éire, meaning “Ireland” or “of Ireland.” The spelling gained ground in the late twentieth century as parents sought a lighter, more distinctive look. A literary touch comes from J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, where Aerin appears in The Silmarillion as a courageous kinswoman of Húrin, adding a faintly mythic aura. Some also note phonetic kinship with Welsh Aeron (linked to a river and “berries/fruitfulness”) or with Norse Eir/Eirin (“mercy”), though these are parallel rather than true etymologies.

Common variants and related forms include Erin, Éirinn/Éireann, Eryn, Aeryn, and the Welsh Aeron; Scandinavian Eirin is similar only in sound. Usage is strongest in English-speaking countries and is primarily feminine, though occasionally unisex. Notable bearers include American designer Aerin Lauder. Core meaning: “Ireland,” evoking heritage, green landscapes, and a straightforward, lyrical style.
