ArchivesRe: Inara
in reply to a message by guasguendi
I am Russian and I never heard of Inara before. Are you sure it's popular enough to call it a Russian name?

According to Forebears (https://forebears.io/x/forenames/inara), it's not uncommon in Russia - more than 1,500 bearers. I was able to find many Russian LinkedIn profiles as well. There is also a Wiktionary page for the name in Russian (https://ru.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%98%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0).

The Wiktionary article states the name Inara exists. It doesn't say anything about the origin or use of the name. Russia is a multiethnic country, and some names are mostly used by ethnic minorities. I don't see any evidence here to consider the name Inara as Russian.
