Ignati Origin and Meaning

The name Ignati is a boy's name of Russian origin.

Ignati is a masculine name that serves as a variant of Ignatius, which derives from the Latin name Ignatius, originally from the Roman family name Egnatius. The root meaning may connect to the Latin word "ignis" meaning "fire." This form of the name is particularly common in Eastern European countries, especially in Russian and Slavic naming traditions where it might be spelled Игнатий. Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, is perhaps the most famous bearer of the root name. While Ignati is uncommon in Western countries, it maintains usage in Orthodox Christian communities. The name carries connotations of passion, intelligence, and spiritual devotion through its connection to both fire and notable religious figures.
