Etymology

Probably 'Inga 's open space,' v. feld . Inga is on record as a late OE name, and we also have on record OE  names Ingibrand , Ingweald and Inguburh . If we take the name to be Inga , the second l is due to the influence of the l of feld . If the l is original, we must postulate a lost diminutive *Ingela with later loss of l . This does not seem so likely.
