Ingela-Lena is Swedish in Origin.

Ingela-Lena is a compound Scandinavian feminine name joining Ingela, a Swedish diminutive of Inga/Inge from Old Norse Yngvi (Ing), a fertility god linked to the ancestral Ingvaeones, and Lena, the Nordic short form of Helena. The combined sense evokes "Ing's light" or "torch of Yngvi," since Helena derives from Greek Helene, often interpreted as "light, torch, sun-ray."

Hyphenated double names flourished in Sweden from the 1940s through the 1970s, making Ingela-Lena stylistically typical of mid-20th-century usage, though each element is older. The name remains most familiar in Sweden and, to a lesser extent, Finland's Swedish-speaking communities and Norway. Variants and close relatives include Ingela Lena (unhyphenated), Lena-Ingela (reversed order), Inga-Lena, Inger-Lena, and the fused Ingelena. Standalone forms (Ingela, Inga, Inge, Lena, Helena, and Magdalena) are related alternatives. Common call names are Ingela or Lena.
