Eréne

Eréne is a variant of the ancient Greek name Eirene (Εἰρήνη), which directly means 'peace'. In Greek mythology, Eirene was one of the Horae, the goddesses of the seasons and the personification of peace, often depicted as a beautiful young woman holding a cornucopia and a scepter or olive branch. The name has been used since antiquity, particularly in the Byzantine Empire, and was borne by several empresses and saints.

The name's usage spread through the Eastern Orthodox Church and later into Western Europe, often taking on various forms such as Irene, Iryna, and Irina. Eréne specifically retains a closer phonetic and orthographic link to the original Greek, often found in contexts where a more direct or traditional Greek form is preferred or preserved.
