History and Origin
- See INGE for the International Noble Gas Experiment
Inge a given name in various Germanic language-speaking cultures. It is mostly used as a masculine, but less often also as a feminine name in Swedish and Norwegian, and exclusively as a feminine name in Danish, German and Dutch. The feminine name has the variant Inga.
The name is in origin a hypocorism of names beginning in the element Ing- (such as Ingar, Inger, Ingrid, Ingeborg, Ingram, Ingvild, Ingunn etc.). These Germanic names made reference to either the god Ing or to the tribe of the Ingvaeones (who were presumably in turn named for the god).
Inge is also encoungered as a surname in the Anglosphere; the surname is usually pronounced in England to rhyme with "ring"; alternatively (especially in the USA) some families pronounce it to rhyme with "hinge."
1 (f.) German and Danish: short form of Ingeborg or, in the case of Danish, of any of the other female Scandinavian names with Ing(e)- as a first element.
2 (m.) Swedish: short form of various male names, such as Ingemar and Ingvar, with Ing(e)- as a first element.
