Inese is a female given name of Latvian origin, derived from the word "inesis", meaning "to bring forth" or "to bear fruit". It is often associated with the Latin word 'nescere', which signifies growth and abundance. The name Inese has gained popularity in Latvia over time, but it remains relatively uncommon elsewhere. Traditionally, it has been given to girls born between late spring and early summer, reflecting its association with fertility and new life.
Inese's popularity peaked in 1953 with 6 births that year. It then fluctuated, with 5 births each in 1955 and 1958. Over these four years, there were a total of 16 babies named Inese.
