What is the meaning of the name Erinn ?

The baby name Erinn is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EH-rin (/ˈɛrɪn/) — sometimes AIR-in (/ˈɛərɪn/).

Erinn is Irish in Origin.

Erinn is a modern respelling of Erin, an Anglicized form of Irish Éirinn, the dative of Éire (“Ireland”). In poetry and traditional phrases (as in “Erin go Bragh”), Éirinn conveys “to/at/in Ireland,” so the given name carries the meaning “Ireland” or “from Ireland.” The doubled n in Erinn does not change pronunciation; it simply emphasizes the Irish place-name origin in a contemporary style.

As a given name, Erin emerged among the Irish diaspora in the 19th century and became widely used in English-speaking countries, peaking for girls from the 1970s through the 1990s while retaining earlier unisex roots. Erinn rose as a late–20th-century feminine variant. Related spellings and forms include Erin, Éirinn/Éireann (Irish), Eireann, Eryn, and Erynn; rarer creative forms exist, but all typically share the same sound and the core association with Irish heritage.
