History & Origin
Irania is a rare modern feminine name found among Latina families. Its source is uncertain: it may be built on the place-name Iran, or it may be a variant of Irene, from Greek eirene, 'peace'. Rather than invent a single etymology, it is fairest to note both possibilities. The name appears in United States records only in the mid-nineteen-nineties.
It surfaced and reached its brief high point in 1995 within a short window, worn by a small cohort now in their late twenties. Irania reads as a contemporary Latina name of unsettled origin; because its spelling would mislead an English reader, the audio is guided from the respelling.
