Inaros is Egyptian, Greek in Origin.

Inaros is the conventional English and Latin spelling of Greek Inaros, Ἰνάρος, a rendering of an Egyptian male name. Its earliest datable external form is probably Neo-Assyrian Inarû, attached to a seventh-century BCE Egyptian prince. The underlying Egyptian form is commonly given as Ienheru or similar, interpreted through the divine element Horus and read literally as eye of Horus.

The name is historically tied to two Egyptian princes known from foreign sources: Inaros I, active in the Assyrian period, and Inaros II, the Libyan-Egyptian rebel against Achaemenid Persian rule in the fifth century BCE. Greek historians helped preserve the form Inaros, while Demotic Egyptian narrative later made Inaros a heroic literary figure. Modern use is rare, though the spelling has gained occasional visibility through Marco and Filip Inaros in The Expanse and the Warframe character Inaros.
