Inigah is in Origin.

Inigah is a modern feminine given name, most plausibly a creative variant of Spanish Íñiga/Iniga, the feminine counterpart to Íñigo. Íñigo derives from the Basque name Eneko, from ene “my” plus the affectionate suffix -ko, giving the sense “my little one” or “beloved.” In the Middle Ages, Íñigo and Íñiga appear in Navarrese and Castilian records; the masculine form was later often conflated with Latin Ignatius - St. Ignatius of Loyola was born Íñigo López de Loyola - helping the root remain familiar.

The -ah ending in Inigah reflects contemporary Anglicized or Arabic-influenced spellings that soften the look while preserving the sound. Variants and related forms include Íñiga, Iniga, Iñiga; masculine Íñigo/Inigo; and Basque Eneko, with Eneka sometimes cited as a feminine cognate. Usage today is rare, giving Inigah distinctive cross-cultural appeal for parents seeking a heritage-rich name with a warmly affectionate meaning.
