Erinnah is English in Origin.
Erinnah is a modern feminine given name that blends Irish and classical resonances. Most bearers use it as an embellished form of Erin (from Irish Gaelic Eirinn/Eireann, "Ireland"), adding the soft -ah ending and doubling the n for rhythm. It can also be read as a creative respelling of Erinna, the name of a 4th-century BCE Greek poet; in that lineage it connects to Eirene, "peace," yielding a layered meaning of "Ireland" or "peace".
In usage, Erinnah is rare and primarily found in English-speaking countries since the early 2000s, aligning with trends for distinctive spellings of familiar names. Variants and near-relatives include Erin, Eryn, Erynn, Erinn; Erina/Erinna/Erinah; and the Greek-rooted Irene, Irina, and Irena. Short forms include Eri, Rin, and Rina. With twin etymologies and gentle cadence, Erinnah suits families seeking a name that nods to Irish heritage while evoking the classical ideal of peace.
