What Does the Name Eirini Mean?
Eirini is a Modern Greek feminine name meaning "peace," from the Greek noun eirēnē (Εἰρήνη). It is the Modern Greek form of the ancient name Eirene. The deeper etymology of eirēnē is uncertain. In Greek myth, Eirene was one of the Horae and the personification of peace. The Latinized form of the name is Irene.
Eirini Name History & Origins
The personal name is based on the Greek word eirēnē, which is already found in ancient Greek literature. In Hesiod's Theogony, Eirene is one of the three Horae, daughters of Zeus and Themis, together with Eunomia and Dike. The name was also borne by Christian saints, including Irene of Thessalonica and Irene of Chrysovalantou, and through Latin it became Irene in Western Europe. In Greek, the ancient form Εἰρήνη corresponds to Modern Greek Ειρήνη: the ancient ei came to be pronounced as a single i sound, a change known as iotacism, and the stress remained on the second syllable. The transliteration Eirini reflects this Modern Greek form rather than the Latinized Irene.
