Eireamhón

This name could be derived from two roots, and the hypotheses includes: From a Scottish surname “Irvine,” meaning “green water,” from the river Irvine in Dumfriesshire. The name, in turn, is composed of two Celtic elements: “ir” (green, fresh) plus “afon” (water). The name is also linked to the name “Irving,” from the Old English name “Eoforwine,” composed of two elements: “eofor” (wild boar) plus “wine” (friend). Érimón, (modern spelling: Éiremhón) son of Míl Espáine (and great-grandson of Breoghan, king of Celtic Galicia), according to medieval Irish legends and historical traditions, was one of the chieftains who took part in the Milesian invasion of Ireland, which conquered the island from the Tuatha Dé Danann, and one of the first Milesian high kings.
