It is uncertain whether this is a double proper name or another kind of formation. Alternatives include 'dauther of Irai', 'asti of Irai' (title + toponym), 'asti of Irai' (teritorrial unit). Note, however, that Irai is attested as an anthroponym elsewhere, which make the two last interpretations a little less probable.
