Meaning & History

Variant of Engel as well as a short form of related names that start with Ingel-, such as Ingelbert, Ingelhard and Ingeltrud. Also compare the West Frisian word ingel meaning "angel".

In some cases, this name is used instead of Engel as a short form of names that start with Engel-, such as Engelbert. This might be done in order to avoid association with the Dutch word engel meaning "angel".
