Re: Meaning of Erin?
Thanks. It makes more sense now. I've always heard that older generations in Ireland tend to think it's funny that Americans name their children Erin. I had a friend who visited about 5 years ago and they all paused when she told them her name and then laughed a little all in good fun. Well, I like that it means Ireland and now I know it ONLY means Ireland. Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

No need to say sorry - I wouldn't hang out on this site if I didn't enjoy researching these things! Glad I could help.:-)
