Usage Japanese
Scripts 偉野, 偉埜, 猪(Japanese Kanji) いの (Japanese Hiragana)

Meaning & History

Derived from the Japanese kanji 偉 (i) meaning "admirable, great, excellent" combined with 野 or 埜 (no) both meaning "field, area". In the Naruto franchise there is a female character called Ino written with Japanese Hiragana いの (Ino). This name refers to the kanji 猪 (inoshishi) meaning "wild boar" and Ino is named this because of a wordplay with her surname (山中 yamanaka meaning "among the mountains") as well as a combination in the traditional Japanese playing cards Hanafuda (which is Ino-Shika-Chō meaning "boar-deer-butterflies").
