The name Erin is a name for a female that is used in the English as well as the Irish language. It is basically an anglicised form of the word 'Eireann', which is derived form Eirinn, the dative case of the Gaelic word Eire, which means 'Ireland'. Eire is also the Irish word for 'peace'.
Irish nationalists used to use the word Erin as a more romantic and idealistic name for Ireland during the nineteenth century. As per Irish mythology and folk legend, the Milesians gave this name to the land after the goddess Eriu. The etymology of the word has evolved gradually to refer to 'Ireland' as well as the word 'west'. This is because Ireland was situated to the west of Scotland. There are above two hundred derivations of this root alone.
