Ireland is the country. Éire is the name for Ireland in the Irish language, not the name of the language itself. Irish people call it Irish, people outside of Ireland call it Gaelic, and in the language itself it is Gaeilge. Ériu was an ancient goddess, and using her name and the suffix "land", the name Ireland came into being, with Éire being the name in Irish, as mentioned in the Irish Constitution.
