Ynes Origin and Meaning

The name Ynes is a girl's name of Spanish origin.

Ynes is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Inés or Inez, which are Spanish and Portuguese forms of Agnes. The name ultimately derives from the Greek word 'hagnos,' meaning 'pure' or 'holy.' This alternative spelling with the initial 'Y' gives the classic name a distinctive flair while maintaining its romantic Mediterranean essence. Throughout history, Ynes has been less common than its variants, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon. The name carries the same dignified history as Agnes, which was popularized by early Christian saints. Ynes combines a timeless quality with a slightly exotic feel, appealing to those who appreciate traditional names with unique orthographic twists.
