Irania is Slavic in Origin.
Irania is a feminine given name most plausibly derived from the Greek Eirēnē (“peace”), the source of Irene and Irina. In Romance usage, an -ia elaboration attached to the Irene/Irina base yields Irania/Iránia, keeping the original sense of “peace; peaceful one.” The name is distinct from the Arabic Rania and from the country name Iran, despite superficial similarity.
Attested in Iberian and Latin American records since the mid-20th century, Irania remains uncommon but recognizable, benefiting from the pan-European popularity of Irene/Irina and the appeal of lyrical four-syllable forms. Variants and cognates include Irene (English, Spanish, Italian), Irena (Polish, Czech, Slovenian), Irina (Russian and other Slavic), Iryna (Ukrainian), Eirini/Irini (Greek), and Irenia/Irenea as related elaborations; diminutives such as Ira, Rena, and Ina occur regionally. Spelling with accent - Iránia in Portuguese or occasionally Iranía in Spanish - reflects local stress patterns rather than different meanings.
