What is the meaning of the name Iryna ?

The baby name Iryna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /iˈriːnə/; common respelling: ee-REE-nah.

Iryna is in Origin.

Iryna is the Ukrainian form of a name ultimately from Greek Eirene, "peace." Through Byzantine Christianity it entered the Slavic world via Church Slavonic Irina, and Ukrainian phonology yielded the -y- spelling and pronunciation. Early bearers include several revered martyrs named Irene and the influential Byzantine empress Irene of Athens, which helped the name circulate across Eastern Europe.

Documented in Kyivan Rus' baptismal records and church calendars, Iryna remained familiar in Ukrainian lands and surged in the 20th century alongside its pan-Slavic cognate Irina; after 1991 the Iryna spelling signaled distinct Ukrainian identity. Common diminutives include Ira and Irynka. International variants are Irene (English, Spanish, Italian), Irini (Modern Greek), Irena (Polish, Czech, Slovene, Croatian, Lithuanian), and Irina (Russian, Bulgarian, Romanian); all share the auspicious meaning of peace.
