A name that means "care, concern, solicitude".

Inaya (عناية) is an Arabic name meaning "care," "concern," or "solicitude" — specifically the kind of care one gives to something precious. It is often understood as God's protective care.

Inaya is rising rapidly across the Arab world and in Muslim-heritage families in the West.

Where Inaya stands.

Inaya 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.
