Life
Saint Ina ach Cynyr was a Welsh saint of the late 5th or 6th century. She was the daughter of Marchell, daughter of Brychan, and of Cynyr of Caer Gawch, and the sister of Saint Non and Saint Gwen of Cornwall.
She founded Llanina in Ceredigion and another Llanina near St Davids; on the coast there is a rock called Carreg Ina. It is possible that she is the same as the saint Ninnocha, who founded Lanninoc in Brittany. No other information about her life survives.
