It comes from the geographical location on the island of Ireland. Strangely though, the most northerly point on the island of Ireland is not in Northern Ireland, but is part of the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland is mostly in the northeast of Ireland.

It has the largest lake in Ireland. It has the most easterly point in Ireland, but not the most northerly point, despite its name. The world famous Giants Causeway is in Northern Ireland.
The name ranks in the top hundred most popular names for girls in the United States, Canada, England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Australia as well as in Israel. So yes, it is common.

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.
the capital of the republic of Ireland is dublin and the capital of northern Ireland is belfast.
It is literally a geographic reference, as it is in the northern part of the island of Ireland, though there are parts of the geographic north of Ireland that are in Northern Ireland.
