What is the meaning of the name Ingarett ?

The baby name Ingarett is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɪŋəˌrɛt/ — ING-ə-ret.

Ingarett is Scandinavian in Origin.

Ingarett is a rare English feminine given name with Scandinavian–Germanic roots and an antiquarian flavor. Etymology is debated: some treat it as an Anglicized offshoot of Old Norse Ing- names such as Ingegerd (from the god Ing/Yngvi + garðr “enclosure, protection”), while others read it as a late blend of Inga with Margaret (from Greek Margaritēs, “pearl”). Either path yields meanings around “Ing’s protection” or “pearl,” sometimes poetically combined as “protected pearl.”

Usage has been sporadic. The spelling Ingaret occurs earlier, with Ingarett, Ingarette, and Ingaretta appearing in 19th–20th‑century British records and occasional literary mentions during the period’s medieval revival. The name remains extremely uncommon today, yet it aligns with stylish clipped forms. Related variants and diminutives include Inga, Retta, Etta, Greta, Ingaret, Ingrid, Inger, and Margaret, with regional cognates such as Swedish Ingegärd and Norwegian Ingerid offering close linguistic cousins.
