What is the meaning of the name Iryne ?

The baby name Iryne is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /aɪˈriːn/ (eye-REEN),/ɪˈriːn/ (ih-REEN).

Iryne is Greek in Origin.

Iryne is a rare Anglicized spelling of Irene, from Greek Eirēnē (Εἰρήνη), meaning “peace.” In classical myth Eirene personified peace among the Horae, and the name spread through early Christian martyrs and saints. It reached Western Europe via Latin and Byzantine influence, appearing in medieval records and reviving in the 18th–20th centuries; Empress Irene of Athens kept the name culturally visible.

The Iryne spelling reflects historical Scots and early‑modern English habits of using y for unstressed e, and today offers a distinctive twist on Irene. Related forms include Irène (French), Irena (Polish/Czech), Irina (Russian/Bulgarian), Iryna (Ukrainian), and Eirini or Irini (Greek); diminutives include Rina, Rena, and Ina.
