Hello, my fellow Erins, it's time you learned everything you need to know about our glorious name.
First of all, Erin comes from the Gaelic word "Éirinn," which means Ireland.
In the United States, Erin reached peak baby naming status in 1983, when 14,826 babies were given the name.
But over 305,000 girls in the U.S. have been named Erin since 1880.
While Erin is traditionally thought to be an Irish name, you will rarely encounter it in Ireland.
But poets have often used the name Erin to mean "Ireland."
And while you may have heard people say, "Erin go Bragh," the actual Gaelic saying is spelled, "Éirinn go Brách."
Some famous and amazing Erins include journalist and sportscaster Erin Andrews.
Erin Burnett, who anchors a show on CNN with our damn name it. (Erin Burnett Out Front)
Victoria's Secret model Erin Heatherton.
Three-time Olympian and all-around badass, Erin Hamlin.
Fashion designer Erin Featherston, who's created looks that will give you a lot of shopping feels.
And, of course, Erin from The Office.
Finally, and this is no secret, but you know that being named Erin makes you an automatic boss.
