[Facts] Re: Ingan
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

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.
