Purity, freedom from guilt, or harmlessness
Derived from the Latin word 'innocentia', this name represents the quality of being pure and free from moral wrong. It was historically used as a virtue name, particularly by Puritans, to emphasize a child's spiritual state. While rare today, it carries a sense of ethereal grace and moral clarity.
