I'm sure someone knows meaning of the name "Erin". I named my
daughter that because it has a nice soft sound, but is it solely
another name for Ireland or does it have other meanings?

I'm an Erin.... when I was in school there was only ONE other Erin!
The name is becoming more and more popular. I know there are
other meanings for the name... I hope your daughter doesn't have
to deal with people pronouncing it like "Aaron" and spelling it
that way too! or thinking its Ellen or Karen... happens to me all
the time!

When she was a baby and people asked her named, they always
assumed I was saying Aaron unless she as in a dress. Then when
she got into school I found out how many ways the name can
be mispelled - Aron,Eron, Arin, Aren, Eren. And yes, to my surprise
she has been called Ellen in school. She just graduated from
high school last spring, and in her yearbook under her picture
were her nicknames - "Erin, Ellen, Susie" (Sue is her middle
name). I never thought she was called Ellen.

The book I have says that Erin is Irish Gaelic for "peace". Literary:
another name for Ireland.
Never thought people could butcher names so badly! I didn't think
Erin was that hard or that strange...

My daughter was born on May 2, 1987 and we named her Erin after
reading the meaning of the name. She has definitely lived up to
the meaning ever since she was born. She is so passive about
everything it is unbelievable. Erin is such a beautiful name, and
I don't mind saying, it fits my little girl perfectly.;-)
a proud papa,
Bob
