Eyrene is Greek in Origin.

Eyrene is a rare Anglicized variant of the Greek name Eirēnē (Εἰρήνη), meaning “peace” or “tranquillity.” In classical myth Eirēnē personified Peace as one of the Horae, celebrated in Athenian cult and sculpture; the name passed into early Christianity through several revered martyrs and nuns, and into imperial history via the Byzantine Empress Irene of Athens (8th–9th century). The saintly and classical associations helped the name spread across Europe and later fueled its revival in English-speaking countries in the 19th century.

As a spelling, Eyrene appears sporadically in Early Modern English records and later antiquarian usage, often indicating the three-syllable pronunciation eye-REE-nee. Established counterparts include Eirene/Eirēnē, Irene (Latin/English), Irène (French), Irene (Italian/Spanish), Irini (Modern Greek), Irena (Slavic and Central European), Irina (Russian), and Iryna (Ukrainian). Diminutives and short forms include Rina, Rena, Renie, and, in Slavic contexts, Ira.
