Inuus is Latin in Origin.

Inuus is a Latin theonym derived from the verb inīre (“to go into, enter; to mate”), conveying “the one who enters” or, more idiomatically, “he who copulates.” In Roman religion it names a pastoral fertility power, often treated as an epithet or aspect of Faunus (also called Lupercus), and loosely equated with Greek Pan. Ancient authors link Inuus with the Lupercalia, where rustic rites sought fecundity for people and flocks.

As a personal name, Inuus is virtually unattested in classical inscriptions and remains extremely rare today, tending to appear only in antiquarian or neo-pagan circles. There are no established feminine or diminutive forms; related mythic variants include Faunus and Lupercus, with Pan as a cross-cultural counterpart. Because its root centers on sexual union, the name carries a frank, archaic sense of virility and generative power rather than a neutral pastoral meaning.
