Etymology of ERIU

The word "Eriu" is derived from the Old Irish name for Ireland, "Ériu". The etymology of the term is uncertain, but it is believed to come from an older Proto-Celtic word *Īwerjū, which ultimately traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root *piHwerjon, meaning "land rich in fat", "fertile land", or "land of abundance". The name is associated with Irish mythology and goddesses, often personifying the island itself. Over time, "Ériu" evolved into "Eire" or "Erin", which are more commonly known terms for Ireland today.
