Erynn
Girl name · 21 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Erynn: 21 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2009.
Erynn is a modern respelling of Erin, itself an Anglicised form of the Irish Gaelic Éirinn, meaning 'from Ireland' and poetically 'peace' (from the phrase 'Island of Peace'). The name shares its root with the country’s name Éire, which appears in the slogan 'Erin go bragh'. Notable modern bearers include American fantasy author Erynn C. McIntyre and singer-songwriter Erynn LeCroy of the band The Twang. As a variant, Erynn offers a fresh twist on the classic Erin, while retaining its Celtic heritage. It has appeared occasionally on Scottish baby name lists since the late 20th century, appealing to parents seeking a slightly different spelling.
