Welsh Flower Names

Eirin is a feminine name with Norse and Celtic connections. In Norse mythology, Eir was the goddess of healing and medicine, and Eirin may be related to this divine figure. In Irish Gaelic, 'Éirinn' is a poetic name for Ireland itself (from 'Éire'). The name has particular popularity in Norway, where it's a modern feminine form of 'Eir' or a variant of 'Erin.' Eirin has a delicate, melodious sound while still conveying strength. In Japan, Eirin (written with different characters) can also be a given name with meanings dependent on the specific kanji used. Outside Scandinavia and Ireland, Eirin remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality for international use. The name's concise two-syllable structure makes it accessible across cultures while maintaining its Nordic-Celtic heritage, appealing to parents drawn to names with mythological connections and subtle nature associations.
