Origin: Latin

Meaning: Innocent; Holy, saintly

Innocent is a beautiful boy’s name of Latin origin, perfect for any little angel. A more modern version of the Late Latin moniker Innocentius, derived from the expression innocens, the name Innocent unsurprisingly means “innocent.” But if you look to the 13 popes it’s known for—including the influential Pope Innocent III—you might find that it can also translate to “holy” or “saintly.”
