What does Erin mean in German?

Éire is the Irish name for Ireland. Éireann is also used. It is pronounced like Erin, which is where that comes from, though Erin is not a name used in Ireland for Ireland. Erin is actually the name of a well known Irish food company, so that is what it would most be associated with in Ireland.Comment: Éireann means 'of Ireland' and would not be used as a nominative.
