Irina is a very popular name in Russia and Ukraine. It comes from the Greek name Irene, meaning “peace”. While Irinas may give off a shy and tranquil vibe, they can also have strong opinions and speak straightforwardly.

Plenty of beautiful Russian women share this name such as hot Russian model Irina Shayk and Miss Russia 2010 winner Irina Antonenko. This name is also often seen in Russian literature, like Irina Arkadina, a main character in Anton Chekov’s classic novel “The Seagull”, and Irina Prozorova, the youngest sister in Chekov’s play “Three Sisters” which opens with Irina celebrating her name day.
