Ierna is in Origin.

Ierna is a rare feminine given name drawn from the classical names for Ireland. It reflects Greek Ierne/Ierna and Latin Ivernia (later Hibernia), all ultimately tracing back to Proto-Celtic *Īweriū, the source of Old Irish Ériu and modern Éire. Through this lineage the name carries the meanings “Ireland” and, by association with the goddess Ériu, “fertile, abundant land.”

Use of Ierna as a personal name is largely modern and literary, surfacing with Celtic revival tastes and antiquarian interest from the 18th century onward; it remains extremely uncommon in records. Close variants and cognates include Ierne, Iverna, and the poetic Hibernia; related mainstream forms are Erin and Éire. The name’s rarity and historic overtones give it a distinctive, old-world aura while still being succinct and contemporary in shape.
