Reply to:	Erin and Irene - same name? by AndersW

Hejsan Anders,

Erin comes from the Gaelic word "eireann" which means "western island", while Irene comes from the Greek word "eirene" which means "peace". So it's not the same name. Nevertheless - I don't know why you shouldn't "borrow" Irene's nameday!
