About the name Ireland
Ireland belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Ireland first appears in Social Security records in 1993. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #819 in 1998, and in 2024 108 babies received the name — 6,263 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
