Comments for the name Eryn

This always seemed to be a weird spelling to me; I prefer Erin.

I named my daughter Eryn because it means PEACE. I prefer this spelling to the general spelling of E-R-I-N. I think the Y makes the name look more feminine!

To the above user Eryn does not mean Peace. It is a variant of Erin which is the English version of a name meaning Ireland and nothing more.

I think this name is beautiful. It is unique and interesting. Also, it does mean 'peace', depending on your information.

This is my name. I have always loved it, since it sounds very feminine to me. I do get really annoyed when people spell it with an 'i' after I have already explained the *unusual* spelling. I was named Eryn because it means 'peace' and 'Ireland'.

I don't like this spelling of the name Erin. I think if you give your child variant spellings then they will get their name misspelled.

I don't like this spelling. It seems unnatural to me. I've grown up with Erins and Eireanns which are nice Irish spellings, but this is just wrong. It feels like an offence to my country as the name ultimately means Ireland.

I have two daughters, Eryn (and Arwen). We chose both names from Tolkien's works (Lord of the Rings for Arwen, the Silmarillion for Eryn).
Eryn, from Tolkiens stance, means "Wood" (as in forest) in Elvish. In the books Mirkwood is known in Elvish as "Eryn Galen".

Despite the above Tolkien reference, in modern usage this just looks like a butchering of Erin.

I would like to amend my above statement. It's starting to grow on me.

I like the spelling Erin better.

This is my name. It's very unique and pretty :) I'm a little biased though.
