Errin Origin and Meaning

The name Errin is a girl's name.

Errin is a feminine name that likely developed as a spelling variation of Erin, which is derived from 'Éirinn,' the dative form of 'Éire,' the Irish Gaelic name for Ireland. The doubled 'r' adds a distinctive touch while maintaining the same pronunciation. Errin shares the cultural associations with Ireland and its poetic meaning, sometimes interpreted as 'peace' or 'from the island to the west.' While less common than Erin, this spelling has appeared in usage since the late 20th century, particularly in North America. The name has a gentle, feminine quality combined with the strength of its Celtic heritage, making it appeal to parents seeking a name with cultural depth and a slightly uncommon spelling.
