Agnes:
The name Inez is a Spanish version of the Latin name Agnes, which was originally derived from the Greek word "agnos" (lamb). In the Catholic tradition, Saint Agnes of Rome was a young virgin and martyr who died during the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century. Her story and her association with purity and chastity made the name Agnes popular throughout Europe in the Middle Ages.
Inez has been a consistently popular name in Spain and Portugal, as well as in countries with significant Spanish or Portuguese influence. It has also been used in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United States, where it peaked in popularity in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
