What is the meaning of the name Inori ?

The baby name Inori is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ee-NOH-ree.

Inori is Japanese in Origin.

Inori is Japanese, based on the native noun inori, usually written 祈り or in hiragana いのり. The earliest relevant form is the verbal noun of inoru, 祈る, to pray: the continuative stem inor- takes the nominal ending -i, producing a noun for prayer, supplication, or an earnest wish. In names the single kanji 祈 may stand alone with the reading Inori.

As a given name, Inori belongs chiefly to modern Japanese feminine naming, though it can be registered for boys. Parents may choose kana for phonetic spelling or combine 祈 with characters such as 梨 pear, 理 reason, or 織 weave. Public recognition outside Japan has been shaped by voice actress Inori Minase and anime characters including Inori Yuzuriha of Guilty Crown and Inori Yamabuki of Fresh Pretty Cure!.
