Ire

Meaning of Ire

The name Ire, pronounced as EYE-ruh (/aɪˈrə/), is a distinctive and rare choice for boys. Its most common variation is Ira. With roots potentially tracing back to Hebrew origins, where "Ira" means "watchful" or "vigilant," the name carries connotations of attentiveness and care. Although not widely used in recent years, Ire has made occasional appearances in the United States, with a notable presence in historical records dating back to the early 20th century. For instance, in 1943 and 1934, there were five and six occurrences respectively, ranking at 3538 and 3277. More recently, it appeared sporadically with five newborns named Ire in both 2022 and 2008. This rarity gives the name a unique charm that stands out amidst more common names.
