Name meaning and origin
Inanc is formed from the verb inan- (to believe) in the Turkic language with the suffix -c and means faith, belief, heartfelt devotion to a value. The word shares its root with the Azerbaijani name Inam, but it is a separate form with a different suffix and is more widespread in Turkish.
During the Seljuk period, Inanc was widely used as a title for bey and amir, and titles such as Ulugh Inanc and Inanc Bey appear in historical sources. In Turkey it has been registered as an official name since 1947 and reached the peak of its popularity in 2005, while in Azerbaijan it is a rarely used parallel form alongside the name Inam.
