What does the name Inna mean?
Inna is a Russian and Ukrainian name of unknown meaning, says Behind the Name. It was first the name of an early male saint, said to be a disciple of Saint Andrew, martyred near the Black Sea with his companions Rimma and Pinna. Wikipedia says it is now used only for women, and that an ancient Greek name Inna, possibly meaning “little girl,” is also attested, though no link to the Russian name has been confirmed.
Inna nicknames and other forms
Behind the Name lists Inna as the same spelling in Russian, Ukrainian and church history, with no common longer form. Wikipedia pairs the saint with his companions Rimma and Pinna. In Cyrillic the name is written Инна.
Some famous Innas
Inna, born Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu on October 16, 1986, in Mangalia, Romania, is a Romanian singer and songwriter. Wikipedia says her debut single “Hot” (2008) was a worldwide success and topped Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay chart, and that “Sun Is Up” (2010) won the Eurodanceweb Award, making her the first Romanian artist to win it. In 2011 she was reported to be the highest-paid Romanian artist.
Inna through the decades
Inna is rare in the United States. It does not appear in any Social Security top-200 decade table from the 1880s to the 2010s, and Behind the Name shows no US chart for it at all. Its home charts are elsewhere: Behind the Name lists it 67th in Latvia in 1985 and 95th in Israel in 1981.
Did you know?
The first Inna was a man. Behind the Name and Wikipedia both say the name belonged to an early Christian martyr, and that over time it became a women’s name only. Its Greek look-alike, Wikipedia adds, may come from a word for “little girl,” though no link has been confirmed.

And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
