More familiar as the name of an ancient empire from South America, when used as a given name, Inca can have a variety of different origins. While it is more likely to be spelled as Inka (or İncə) as a first name, Inca has seen usage around the world. 
 
From its German and Finnish roots, it could be used as a form of Inka, itself a variation of Inge meaning "ancestor". As a Serbian and Croatian name, again, normally spelled Inka, it is used as a diminutive of names containing the element in, including Ivana ("god is gracious"), Inoslava ("glory is now"), or Anina ("grace"). 
 
From its Spanish origins, it may mean "emperor", borrowed from the name of the Inca Empire. It also appears as the name of a town in Mallorca, known for its leather craftmanship. Another possible explanation for its use in Spanish is as a variation of Inico, Ignacia, or Inigo, used as forms of Ignatius or Eneko. 
 
Inca could also be an Anglicized form of the rare Azerbaijani name, İncə derived from the Azerbaijani word for "thin, slender", or of the Turkish and Azerbaijani İnci, meaning "pearl." Alternatively, it could come from the Romanian word încă meaning "still."
 
The name also appears to be used in India and Indonesia, possibly as a form of Inika meaning "army, splendour", or of Enika, meaning "antelope."
 
Much of this is conjecture however, and other interpretations, usage, and meanings may be possible. Regardless, it is a succinct yet distinctive name with history behind it.

With its unique spelling and pronunciation (likely "see-AIR" or "see-EH-reh"), Cierre offers parents an option that stands out while remaining relatively straightforward.

Derived from the Somali baxsasho meaning "escape, elude", this name was notably borne by singer and stage actress Seynab Haji Ali Siigaale, a one of Somali's most popular performers in the 20th century. She was given the name by fellow popular singer, Guduudo Carwo, after she escaped to Somaliland following a failed coup against the Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie. Known for her lyrics and poetry promoting peace and reconciliation during the Somali civil war, her name has been used (nearly exclusively) in Somalia since then.
