Meaning & Story
A feminine given name derived from Germanic roots, possibly a short form of names like Ingrid or Imelda; also a place name in Germany and Scotland with various regional histories.
Ina is a quietly lovely name — small but complete, with an old-fashioned grace that's currently making a stylish comeback. It doesn't try too hard, which is exactly what makes it work so well. A pet named Ina has probably been observed to have a certain serenity about her, a self-possession that suggests she knows exactly who she is. The name suits a soft-eyed, unhurried dog or a cat who moves through the house with perfect composure.
