Ireland is the English language equivalent of Eire. Eire is the Irish name for the island of Ireland. Its not the only name used in the Irish language others such as Banbha were used. Eire was a princess of the Tuatha de Danaan the semi-mythical early Celts who assumed god-like charachteristcs. Ireland is named after her.
