Inna (Инна) is a European[citation needed] given name. It was the name of an early East Orthodox male martyr (see ru:Инна, Пинна и Римма), but is currently used as a feminine name only.[1][2] In ancient Greece, the name Ἴννα (Inna) is also attested[3] (probably from ἴννην innen, meaning "little girl"[4]), however a connection with the Russian Inna has not been confirmed.
