Eryn

Eryn is a feminine given name used primarily in English-speaking countries. It is commonly regarded as a variant spelling of Erin, a name that originates from the poetic term for Ireland and is associated with Éire. Because of its similarity to Erin, Eryn is often connected to Irish identity or heritage, though many bearers choose the name for its phonetic appeal rather than a specific meaning.

Pronunciation varies, but in most North American usage it is spoken as ER-in or EH-rin. Variants include Erin, Erynn, Eren, and other spellings that emphasize the same underlying sound.

Usage and distribution: Eryn gained popularity in the late 20th century as part of a broader trend toward alternate spellings of traditional names. It is most common in the United States and Canada and appears in the United Kingdom and other English-speaking regions.

In culture and media, Eryn is used for fictional characters in novels, films, and video games, reflecting its contemporary, versatile sound. While occasionally appearing as a surname, it is far less common than as a given name.
