Re: Significance of Erin name

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...
