Mother of Irene Angelina, Queen of Germany

I apologize if this has perhaps already been discussed.

Curious what is currently thought as to the identity of the mother of
Irene Angelina, Queen of Germany and Sicily (d.1208), daughter of
Alexius II Angelus, Emperor of Byzantium. _Wikipedia_ states:

"The identity of Isaac's first wife is unknown, but her name, Herina,
is found on the necrology of Speyer Cathedral, where their daughter
Irene is interred. His wife Herina may have been a member of the
Palaeologus family; she was dead or divorced by 1185, when Isaac
remarried. Their children were:

Euphrosyne Angelina, a nun.
Irene Angelina, married first to Roger III of Sicily, and secondly to
Philip of Swabia
Alexius IV Angelus

By his second wife, Margaret of Hungary, Isaac had two sons:

Ioannes Angelus
Manuel Angelus"

----

At the very least, is it safe to state that "Herina" is a variant of
"Irene"? What about her possibly being "Palaiologina"?

Thanks.
