Quechua female names come from the Quechua languages of the Andes (Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and neighboring regions). They frequently draw on nature and celestial vocabulary, and many appear in Spanish-influenced forms ending in -a. Orthographic variants are common, such as Killa and Quilla for “moon,” reflecting Quechua-to-Spanish spelling. Because Quechua lacks grammatical gender, female names generally follow the same lexical patterns as male names; the -a ending is the clearest female-leaning feature due to Spanish contact.

Examples in contemporary use include Chasca, Killa, Quilla, Nina, Qorianka, Tinya, Maca, Achira, Chaskah, and Inca. Many are used alongside Spanish given names in official records.
