Erinn Origin and Meaning

The name Erinn is a girl's name.

Erinn is a feminine name representing an alternate spelling of Erin, which derives from 'Éirinn', the dative form of 'Éire', the Irish Gaelic name for Ireland. The doubled 'n' gives this variant a distinctive appearance while maintaining the original pronunciation. Historically, Erin became popular outside Ireland as a given name during the 20th century. Erinn carries strong associations with Irish heritage and culture, often chosen to honor Irish ancestry. The name peaked in popularity during the 1980s but remains in use. With its Celtic roots and straightforward pronunciation, Erinn offers an Irish connection with a slightly unique spelling.
