From Old Irish Ériu, from Proto-Celtic *Φīweryū (compare Middle Welsh Iwerd (“Irish Sea”)), from Proto-Indo-European *piHweryon-, likely related to *piHwer- (“fat”), from *peyH- (“fat”) (compare Ancient Greek πίειρα (píeira, “fertile”), Sanskrit पीवरी (pīvarī, “fat, rich”)).
Ériu f

Synonyms: Banba, Elg, Fódla.
From Proto-Celtic *ɸīweryū, from Proto-Indo-European *piHweryon-, from *piHwer- (“fat”).
Various connections to Proto-Indo-Iranian *áryas have also been hypothesized.
______________________________________
Proto-Indo-Iranian *áryas
*áryas m
autonymic (self-identifying) ethnonym of the respective Indo-Iranian peoples, i.e. the Indo-Aryans and the Iranians.
Mallory and Adams (EIEC, 1997) who derive *arya from *h₄erós ~ *h₄eri̯os (“member of one’s own (ethnic) group, peer, freeman; (Indo-Iranian) Aryan”)
Sergei Starostin continued the long-abandoned identifications with Irish Éire (despite the general consensus that Éire has a completely different origin) and Hittite arawa-, and continued to reconstruct a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *ar(y)- (“master”).
Oswald Szemerényi suggestion[1][4] that *arya- is a loanword from an Ugaritic word meaning “kinsmen”, from Proto-Afro-Asiatic *ħər (“free, noble”), but this hypothesis has today generally been discarded.
Watkins/IE Roots (2000) treats the Indo-Iranian autonym as an isolate and derives it tentatively from “perhaps … ar- [to fit]” (cf. *h₂er-, “to fit, put together”), giving “allied compatriot” or the like.
