Naming your child is a special but sometimes a difficult task.
Our children's names are often inspired by elements around us. Many parents, for example, like to give a historic name to their children.
Inca means "goddess" or "ancestor". The Incans are the Quechuan people residing in Cuzco Valley located in Peru. These American Indian people were conquered by Spanish people in 1532, but they still exist today. If you are interested in historical names, then Incan names could top your list. Incan names are interesting due to the historical significance that is often attached to them. Many are also religious names, inspired by God or names that are inspired by nature, as this is something that Incan's regularly worshipped.
