Ince is English, Turkish in Origin.
Ince has twin roots: in English it is a locative surname from the Cheshire and Lancashire place-name Ince, ultimately from Brittonic/Welsh ynys "island, river meadow"; in Turkish, İnce is an adjective meaning "fine, slender, delicate" that is used as both a surname and a modern given name. The name is typically pronounced INSS in English and IN-jeh in Turkish.
The English surname appears in medieval rolls as de Ince for families tied to riverine islands and low meadows. As a given name in the Anglosphere, Ince is a rare, contemporary surname-transfer picked for its crisp sound and topographic heritage. In Turkish communities, İnce enjoys longer, casual use as a unisex forename. Related forms include Innes, Innis, and Ennis (same "island" root); do not confuse with Inés, from Agnes.
