Erina

Meaning of Erina

Erina derives from the ancient Greek Eirene, signifying “peace,” and functions as both a variant of Irene and an echo of the Irish Erin, thereby synthesizing Hellenic conceptual resonance with Celtic geographic identity; this dual heritage is affirmed in Anglo-American usage by its uniform pronunciation /ɛˈriːnə/ in both English and Irish contexts. Analytical review of Social Security Administration data indicates that Erina first entered the top 1,000 female names in the late 1950s, reached its apex at rank 735 in 1974, and has since fluctuated within the 860–950 band—most recently recording 25 occurrences at rank 925 in 2024—underscoring its enduring yet understated presence in contemporary naming practice.
