Iggy is in Origin.
Iggy is a brisk diminutive chiefly from Latin Ignatius, a Roman name probably rooted in Egnatius (Etruscan) and later linked to ignis, 'fire,' giving the favored meaning 'fiery' or 'ardent.' In Spanish and Italian forms (Ignacio, Ignazio) and French Ignace, Iggy serves as the casual short form; it can also abbreviate Basque Iñigo/Inigo, historically tied to Ignatius via St. Ignatius of Loyola's birth name.
Use spread in Catholic circles through saints like Ignatius of Antioch and the Jesuit founder, lending scholarly and spiritual overtones. Contemporary culture, from Iggy Pop to Iggy Azalea, has made it an edgy, sometimes unisex pick. Related variants include Ignatius, Ignacio, Ignazio, Ignace, and feminine Ignacia/Ignatia; diminutives and spellings include Iggie and Igi.
