Erinn: 31 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 1996.
This feminine name is an alternate spelling of Erin, which itself derives from the Irish Gaelic word *Éirinn*, the dative case of *Éire*, meaning 'Ireland'. As a given name, it gained popularity across the English-speaking world through the romanticised image of Ireland as an emerald isle. Notable bearers include American actress Erinn Hayes and Erinn Bartlett, though the name remains more common in its standard form. The related place name Erin appears in Ontario, Canada, and poetically Ireland itself is often called Erin. This double-‘n’ variant adds a subtle visual distinction while retaining the same lyrical pronunciation, offering a gentle twist on a classic Celtic name.
