Irine is Greek in Origin.
Irine derives from Ancient Greek Eirēnē, “peace,” the name of the goddess personifying civic concord. Through Latin Irene it spread across the Christian Mediterranean; the spelling Irine appears as a direct Georgian form (ირინე) and as a rare simplified variant in English and parts of East Africa, often in church records and baptismal registers.
Usage was strengthened by several early martyrs and by the 8th‑century Byzantine empress Irene of Athens, keeping the name prominent in Byzantine and Slavic lands and later reviving in Western Europe in the late 19th–early 20th centuries. Related forms include Irene (English/Spanish), Irène (French), Eirini (Greek), Irina (Russian), Iryna (Ukrainian), Irena (Polish/Czech/Slovene), Arina (Russian), and Eirene (classical). Diminutives: Rina, Ira. Meaning centers on peace, serenity, and harmonious character.
