Ingarette is in Origin.
Ingarette blends a Germanic root with a French diminutive ending. The first element, Ing-, traces to Old Norse/Proto‑Germanic Yngvi (Ing), an epithet of the god Freyr and a common name element meaning “of Ing’s people,” evoking fertility, peace, and kinship. The suffix -ette, familiar in French feminine names, adds a tender nuance, so Ingarette can be read as “little one of Ing” or “belonging to Ing.” It aligns with the Scandinavian family of names such as Inga, Inger, Ingeborg, and Ingrid.
Records show the form Ingaret in Britain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries - most visibly in the writer Ingaret Giffard - with Ingarette arising as a French-influenced elaboration akin to Henriette or Mariette. The name remains rare across the English-speaking world. Variants and related forms include Ingaret, Ingaretta, Ingerette, Inga, Inge, and Ingrid; possible short forms are Inga, Ina, or Etta.
