gravity which cannot but excite laughter, says the island is called the land of Ire because of the broils
there, which have extended over four hundred years. Wormius derives the word from the Runic Yr, a

Ireland.
Called by the natives "Erin," i.e. Eri-innis, or Iar-innis (west island).
By the Welsh "Yver-den" (west valley).

The actual current name for Ireland in Welsh is Iwerddon, pronounced (roughly) i-wear-thon.
