<p>Erin as a masculine name has Irish origins, derived from "Éirinn," the dative case of "Éire" (Ireland). While more commonly recognized as a feminine name in many countries today, Erin has historic usage as a boy's name, particularly in Ireland and Scottish communities. The name literally means "from Ireland" and carries strong Celtic heritage. As a masculine name, Erin peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1970s-80s but has since become more frequently used for girls. The name is short, strong, and easily pronounced across languages. For boys, it offers Celtic heritage with a soft yet dignified sound that balances traditional roots with contemporary appeal.</p>
