Irean is in Origin.

Irean is a rare Anglicized variant of Irene, from Greek Eirene meaning “peace.” Rooted in the ancient Greek personification of Peace and borne by early Christian martyrs, the name traveled through Byzantine and medieval Europe and appears among royalty (notably Empress Irene of Athens). In English records, Irene is attested from the Middle Ages but surged in popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; the spelling Irean surfaces chiefly in North American documents of that era.

Pronounced eye-REEN (also sometimes ih-REEN), Irean shares the meaning “peace” and the same family of variants: Irene, Ireen, Irena (Polish/Czech), Irina (Russian), Irini (Modern Greek), Iryna (Ukrainian), and Eirene (classical), with diminutives Rena, Renie/Reni, and Rina. While sometimes mistaken for the Irish Éireann (“of Ireland”), Irean is etymologically unrelated. Its quiet symbolism and vintage feel suit parents seeking an uncommon twist on a timeless classic.
