A female given name, primarily used in Irish and English-speaking cultures.
From Irish 'Eibhlín,' derived from the French name 'Aveline.' The name was Anglicized during the colonial period and has been popular in Ireland and among Irish immigrants for centuries.
The most famous Eileen is probably the subject of Dexys Midnight Runners' 1982 hit song 'Come On Eileen'—the song is so catchy that generations of people have sung it without knowing it's actually a love song to a specific woman.
