Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno Inna je doložené vo východoslovanskom a pravoslávnom prostredí; pôvodne sa spájalo s mužským menom ranokresťanského mučeníka. Jeho jazykový pôvod ani pôvodný význam však nie sú spoľahlivo objasnené a rozšírený výklad „dravý prúd“ nemožno pokladať za bezpečne preukázaný.
