Girl name · 287 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Eryn: 287 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 23 births in 2008.
Eryn is a modern variant of Erin, the anglicised form of Éirinn, the Irish dative case of Éire, meaning 'Ireland'. Though often considered a feminine name, it has been used for boys in Scotland and elsewhere, giving it a subtle unisex appeal. Its most famous bearer is stage and screen actress Eryn Norvell. While no major place is directly named after a bearer, the root of Eryn connects strongly to the Emerald Isle itself, and the spelling Eryn has shared its popularity in Scotland alongside the Welsh-sounding variant Eirian. Its gentle sound and direct link to the neighbouring island make it a name that feels both familiar and lightly distinctive.
