Erie is Native American in Origin.
Erie is a unisex English given name with toponymic and Indigenous roots. It references Lake Erie, itself named for the Erie (Eriez/Erielhonan), an Iroquoian-speaking people; their ethnonym is commonly interpreted as “long tail,” linked to the panther and the “Cat Nation.”
In the United States the name appears from the 19th century for both girls and boys, either as a place-inspired choice or as a pet form of Eric, Erika, or Erica. Today it suits modern place-name tastes. Related forms include Eri and the source names Eric and Erica/Erika; diminutives may be Ree or Ri. Erie also overlaps with the Japanese feminine name Eri, sometimes romanized as Erie, whose meaning varies by kanji, though this is a separate origin.
