Ingleberte is French, Germanic in Origin.

Ingleberte is a rare medieval French feminine form of a Continental Germanic dithematic name built on Engil/Angil ("Angle; later understood as angel") + berht ("bright, famous"). Its meaning was commonly read in the Middle Ages as "bright like an angel," though an older etymology is "Angle-kin bright." The initial I/E alternation reflects Old French spelling habits, making Ingleberte parallel to Engelberte and Ingelberte; the masculine base is Inglebert/Engelbert.

Attested in Norman and northern French records between the 12th and 14th centuries, the name echoes the prestige of St. Engelbert of Cologne, though the feminine remained uncommon. Variant and cognate forms include Engelberte, Engleberte, Ingelberte; the masculine Engelbert/Inglebert; and the pan-Germanic feminine Engelberta (also used in Central and Eastern Europe). Likely short forms are Berte, Berthe, or Berta. In modern usage Ingleberte is antiquarian and exceedingly rare, appealing to those seeking a distinctly medieval, Franco-Germanic choice.
