The Republic of Ireland is often used, but the official name is Éire in the Irish language and Ireland in English. Southern Ireland is an incorrect term. In fact the most northerly point on the island of Ireland, is not in Northern Ireland, but actually in what many people call southern Ireland. So "Southern Ireland" is an incorrect term both as an official name and geographically.

What conrty holds southern Ireland?
Southern Ireland is often used incorrectly to refer to the Republic of Ireland and distinguish it from Northern Ireland, so southern Ireland is really just a geographical term, in the same way as you might have southern Canada or southern France or southern Argentina, or the southern part of any country you could mention. Even the term Republic of Ireland is not an official one. The proper name, according to the Irish constitution is Éire or Ireland. So, southern Ireland is in the country that is known as Ireland, which is on the island of Ireland, as is Northern Ireland.
Are you a immigrant if you come from southern Ireland?
An immigrant is someone coming from a country other than the one that they are now in, usually with a requirement for documentation, like a visa, to enable them access to the country they are now in. In the context of Ireland, someone from the Republic of Ireland (the proper term for what people call southern Ireland) living in Northern Ireland, would not be considered an immigrant. Someone from the Republic of Ireland going to some other countries could be regarded as an immigrant. It depends on where they are going.
