Etymology
The forms of this name are difficult. One might be inclined to reject the first form because of the lateness of the cartulary, but the formulas of the Charter are old and such archaisms as Coenred and Ædilheard are preserved in the names of the signatories. There is therefore a strong presumption that the form Ingin is correct; the later Ing (g )en would be a natural weakening of it and the development of forms in Inge can be explained as due to the influence of such names as Lyndon supra 71 where we get regular fluctuation between dat. sg. linde and dat. pl. linden . Its ultimate etymology is obscure.
