Erin comes from a gaelic goddess... Eire or Eiry or some such thing... would prolly have more luck finding it in celtic myths and legends... I doubt there is a feast day associated with it as the catholics and other christians wouldn't have celebrated her... people in Ireland wouldn't have named their children Erin, it would have been more common for ex-patriots or Americans with Irish roots to give this name...

Bienvenue au panneau de message, monsieur.
La visite autant que vous voudrait.
In English, concerning Erin (and Ireland), the best I can do is to give you a pathway to help you search for the answer, starting with the Conradh na Gaelige, Craobh Curtin (the Gaelic League, Curtin Branch [Milwaukee]) which is at http://www.irishmilwaukee.com . It's in both English and Irish, so it'll be a tad easier for you. I could also ask one of my former professors, if you'd like. :)
Frequency: that, alas is way out of my field of study (and my interests [sorry, guys].)

For frequency of Erin: http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=erin&gender=f&extra=p
For frequency of Eryn: http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=erin&gender=f&extra=p
Sorry, this site doesn't list the frequency of usage for Eryne -- most likely due to the fact that it's a rare variation of the name Erin.
Because the name Erin is representative of Ireland http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=eireann
...and also springs from Irish legend http://www.crosswinds.net/~daire/names/celtirishfem.html
...I doubt that there were any saints named Erin to qualify a feast day for the name. I could be wrong, however, and you may want to search a few Catholic websites which list saints and their feast days.

St Patrick's day is after the priest, named Patrick, who chased the 'snakes' out of Ireland... what he really did was change the pagans in Ireland to christians... the snake or serpent being a symbol of the pagans... to read more about it, follow the link...
