Inara (إنارة) comes from the Arabic root n-w-r, meaning "to illuminate" — and means "ray of light" or "shining one." The same root gives Nour and Noor.
Inara has been rising rapidly in the U.S. Today it sits in the U.S. top 500.
Inara does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Inara reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
