[Facts] Re: Ingan
in reply to a message by Allibeth
It would help if you knew where was she from? My first thought was that it could be an anglicized form of the Gaelic Inghean (actually pronounced IN-yen) which simply means daughter.
We must hang up in the belfry where the bats and moonlight laugh
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
Into the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge

Is Inghean actually used as a name in Ireland?
She was born in USA, I do not know where her family may have been from before that. Their family name is Dahl.
Also, she pronounced her name with the ing like the american ending of words -ing. ING-an. Hard G sound.
It could be a made up name. I do not know.

Dahl is Norweigan isn't it? so it might be related to names derived from the Scandinavian/Germanic God Ing
It could be a form of Ingun
Ingun is a Norwegian name. (But the surname Dahl is Swedish as well as Norwegian.)
