Meaning & History

This name can be used as 稲 (te, tou, ina-, ine) meaning "rice plant" or イ子 with イ representing the phonetic character for 'i' and 子 (shi, su, tsu, ko, -ko, ne) meaning "sign of the rat (first sign of Chinese zodiac)."

It was uncommon in the Edo period (1603-1868) and the uncommonness of Ine continues all the way into the Taishō period (1912-1926).
