Iggie is in Origin.

Iggie is an affectionate English diminutive, chiefly of Ignatius and its Romance forms (Ignacio, Ignazio, Ignace), ultimately from the Roman family name Ignatius and later associated with Latin ignis “fire,” yielding the sense “fiery, ardent.” It is also sometimes used as a pet form of Igor in English-speaking contexts, giving an alternative Norse-derived sense related to the god Ing/Yngvi and “warrior.” The -ie spelling softens Iggy into a playful, contemporary style.

In use as a nickname since the 19th century, Iggie has surfaced as a stand‑alone given name amid the 21st‑century trend toward casual, -ie endings. The name echoes venerable bearers of Ignatius - notably Ignatius of Antioch and Ignatius of Loyola (born Íñigo), reinforcing its scholarly, devout aura. Variants and related forms include Iggy, Iggi, Igie; full-name options Ignatius, Ignacio, Ignace, Ignazio, Ignacy, and Russian Ignatiy/Ignaty. Usage is rare and often unisex in modern registries.
