Ireane is Greek in Origin.

Ireane is a rare modern variant of Irene, ultimately from the Ancient Greek Eirene, the personification of peace. Through early Christian adoption - thanks to several venerated saints - the name spread across the Greek- and Latin-speaking worlds and entered most European languages. The spelling Ireane appears in contemporary use as a creative or regional form, occasionally seen in Iberian contexts, while retaining the same serene meaning of “peace” or “peaceful one.”

Notable bearers of the root name include Empress Irene of Athens (8th century) and many martyrs, which kept the name familiar through Byzantium and medieval Europe; it rose again in popularity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Anglophone countries and remains common around the Mediterranean. Related forms include Irene, Eirene, Irini (Greek), Irina (Russian and other Slavic), Iryna (Ukrainian), Irena (Polish, Czech, and Slovene), and Airini (Māori). Nicknames and diminutives include Rena, Renie, Reni, and Ira.
