What Does the Name Inza Mean?
Inza is a rare English feminine name usually explained as a variant of Inez and understood to mean "pure." Inez is an English rendering of Spanish Inés, which derives from Latin Agnes and ultimately from Greek Hagnē (Ἁγνή), a name based on hagnos, "pure" or "holy." A later Christian association with Latin agnus, "lamb," is symbolic rather than etymological. The spelling Inza is not the standard Spanish or Portuguese form; those languages use Inés and Inês.
Inza Name History & Origins
Under the usual explanation, Inza's history is tied to Inez and Agnes. The name Agnes was borne by Saint Agnes, a Roman martyr venerated from early Christian times, and it spread through Latin and the Romance languages, giving Spanish Inés and Portuguese Inês. English speakers adopted Inez as a rendering of the Spanish form. Inza is a rare English spelling of that name, with a final -a in place of -ez; its development as a distinct English spelling is not well documented.
