Eirinn is Irish in Origin.
Eirinn is an Irish-derived given name taken from Irish Éirinn, a historical/dative case of Éire, “Ireland,” familiar from the nationalist motto Éirinn go Brách (“Ireland forever”). Through poetry and song in the 18th–19th centuries - where Éirinn/Erin personified the nation - the name entered English; Eirinn preserves the closer Irish spelling (often written Éirinn with the fada). As a given name it carries the meaning “Ireland,” and by extension “of/from Ireland.”
Usage is strongest in the Anglophone world as a feminine name, though it is technically unisex and occasionally used for boys in Ireland and North America. The spelling Eirinn remains rarer than Erin, which peaked in the late 20th century amid Gaelic revival and diaspora pride. Variants include Erin, Éirinn, Eireann, Éireann, and the modern Aerin; related elaborations are Ireland and Irelyn. Common pronunciations are AIR-in or AYR-in.
