About the name
Irene is the Greek Eirene — "peace," the goddess of it — one of the great virtue names of the ancient world, worn by a Byzantine empress who ruled in her own right.
A fixture of the early twentieth century, Irene sits around 600th in 2024 — a peace dividend waiting to be claimed by the vintage revival.
The name is a ceasefire in three syllables (or two, the sleeker European way). It pairs well with crisp middles (Irene Josephine, Irene Wren). On our vibe map it is Vintage Elegant with an olive branch.
