Eirini is the modern Greek form of the ancient Greek name Eirēnē (Εἰρήνη), meaning "peace." In classical antiquity it referred to the personified goddess Eirene, one of the Horae, whose cult flourished in Athens; the famed sculpture by Kephisodotos the Elder depicted her cradling the infant Ploutos. The name gained wide Christian currency through several saints and martyrs named Irene, and it remained prominent in Byzantine society - most notably borne by Empress Irene of Athens, champion of the restoration of icons. Greek Orthodox calendars still honor St. Irene, helping sustain its use.

Internationally, Eirini appears as Irini or Eirene in transliteration; related forms include Irene (English, Spanish, Italian, German), Irène (French), Irena (Polish, Czech, Slovene, Croatian), Irina (Russian, Romanian, Bulgarian), and Iryna (Ukrainian). Common Greek diminutives are Rena, Rini, and Eirinoula/Renoula. Pronounced ee-REE-nee in Greek, the name conveys calm strength and timeless elegance.
