Yes it does come from Inis (island) and fraoch (heather); I think Inisfree is the usual transliteration but any collection of Yeats should give it too you (The Lake Isle of I...).

This query is lyric (well, poetry at least)related and I really think you could have titled the thread something like "Innisfree Origin?" (I'm using your preferred spelling this time) and there are others besides me who could answer the query!
