Usage Note
Influencia is a noun only; the corresponding verb is influir (influenciar also exists but influir is preferred). The phrase bajo la influencia (under the influence) mirrors English closely. Influencer has been borrowed directly into colloquial Spanish as an anglicism.
Examples
"La familia tiene mucha influencia en él."
