This form of Agnes, Ines has always been popular since the true story of the thwarted lovers Queen Ines of Castro and King Peter of Portugal. This has to be one of the most heartbreaking and bloody true romances in history!

</br></br>Prince Peter fell in love with the beautiful and lovely Ines, but their relationship was forbidden by his father King Afonso. Peter (who had been married) became a widow and planned to marry Ines, but this too was disallowed. When Peter followed her into exile, Afonso ordered Ines to be  murdered in front of her own child.  Distraught, Peter hunted her murderers down and ripped the hearts out of their bodies, claiming they did not have any hearts. When he later came to the throne, Peter made Ines his queen, exhumed her body and made the court vow allegiance to her.

</br></br>In 2025, this historically royal name became new once again as Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden chose it for their Princess Ines. In the US, Ines achieved new prominence after actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds named their second daughter Inez -- which is the Spanish spelling.
