Meaning & origin

Inocencia is a Spanish feminine name derived from the Latin innocentia, meaning 'innocence.' It was most popular in the early 20th century, peaking in 1929. After that, its usage declined and it has remained stable at very low levels. The name's connection to the virtue of innocence gives it a gentle, classic feel, but it is rarely chosen for modern babies.

Inocencia is the Spanish form of the Latin name Innocentia, meaning 'innocence' or 'harmlessness.' It has been used in Spanish-speaking cultures, particularly in religious contexts as a reference to the virtue of innocence. The name's popularity peaked in the early 20th century, especially in the 1920s, but it has since become rare.
