Igrayna is Slavic in Origin.

Igrayna is a modern variant of the Arthurian name Igraine/Ygraine, best known as the mother of King Arthur. The name reached English through Old French romance tradition, with earlier Latinized forms such as Igerna in Geoffrey of Monmouth; behind these likely stands the Welsh Eigr/Eigyr, though its etymology is obscure and no secure meaning is agreed upon. As a result, Igrayna carries legendary resonance rather than a verifiable lexical sense.

Usage is sporadic: Igraine/Ygraine appears in medieval narratives, Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, and Tennyson’s Idylls of the King, then saw limited revival during Victorian medievalism and modern fantasy retellings. Igrayna, along with Igrayne, is a later phonetic or stylistic elaboration - appealing in languages favoring feminine -a endings. Documented variants include Igraine, Ygraine, Igerna, Ygerne, and the Welsh Eigr/Eigyr. The name suggests regal, mythic associations while remaining rare in contemporary use.
