Meaning:Ireland; Land of abundance
Aeryn is a gender-neutral name of Irish and Gaelic origin, which will no doubt inspire fantasies of mythos and heritage with every mention. Beneath its alluring facade lies the Irish name Éireann, "Ireland," whose own roots are more enchanting still. Most often recognized as Erin, Éireann stems from the goddess Ériu, considered to this day as the personification of Ireland. A deity of supreme authority, Ériu came from the mythical Tuatha Dé Danann (the people of Danu), a supernatural race that first claimed Ireland as home. As the Gaelic Celtic arrived on its green shores, they asked Ériu and her sisters to bestow their name on the island, to which they agreed. From here, Éire stuck, embodying the meaning "land of abundance," instilling Aeryn with a fascinating backstory.
