[Facts] Re: Inara
Is it safe to say that Inara/Inaara is used in Urdu (Rare)? And I'd merge Inara (1) and Inara (5) due to proximity.However, Forebears (https://forebears.io/x/forenames/inara), lists more than 1,500 bearers in Russia, and Russian Wiktionary says it's a name used in Russian (https://ru.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%98%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0).By the way, the Kazakh Wikipedia source is very useful, thank you! Inara (Инара) is listed as the 726th most common feminine name in Kazakhstan, with 1,165 bearers.

Most of the bearers in Russia according to forebears, are in the Altay Kray. The rest are mostly in the Caucasian and Turkic regions of Russia (Dagestan, Tatarstan, Chechnya, Mordovia, Crimea, etc). Generally if you see this, it's not a Russian name and is just used by ethnic minorities in Russia.The Russian Wiktionary doesn't say it's a a Russian name, just that it's a name.Inara isn't a Russian name.

I see, thanks a lot! I've removed the Russian usage but kept the Altai one, since it's most common in that area.
