What is the meaning of the name Ino ?

The baby name Ino is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EE-no,IPA: /ˈiːnoʊ/ (English),Japanese: /i.no/.

Ino is Greek in Origin.

Ino traces to Ancient Greek Ἰνώ, the Theban princess who became the sea goddess Leucothea after her tragic death. She appears in Homer’s Odyssey as the savior of Odysseus and in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, and is famed as the foster-mother of the infant Dionysus. As a modern given name, Ino is rare but recognizable in Greece and elsewhere through mythological revival trends.

The Greek etymology of Ino is uncertain, so the name’s resonance comes largely from its mythic associations of maternal care and maritime protection; Leucothea itself means “white goddess.” Forms and related spellings include Ino (standard), Íno (Modern Greek), and the epithet Leucothea/Leukothea. Do not confuse it with Io, a separate mythic name. In Japanese, Ino is an unrelated given name or surname whose meaning depends on the kanji - common options include 伊乃, 衣乃, and 依乃 - making it a culturally distinct variant with varied readings.
