Hi!

Inga, or ingas, several forms, is a family name ending, it's very old.
You
already find names ending with ingas on rune sticks found it Flood
mounts in
the low countries. It means something like Mac. In Scottish. Many Saxon
names here in the east of the Netherlands end with "ing", and the
Frisian
names with "ga".
I can't find the runic text with the clear ingas name... Here are some
from
Friesland.
Runic inscriptions found in the Netherlands.
==================================================
About 25 Runic Inscriptions were found in the Netherlands, and specially
in
Friesland.
Some are of Scandinavian origin.
1. Scandinavian coin, 11th century: "kunar amot thisae. (Gunnar owns
this
stamp).
2. Iron key. Probably Scandinavian: "Anuars"  (Anvar).
3. Chess piece. "agerotra:mosel? / mahtelokpaetaerr??  (Machtelt and
Peter).
4. Bracket. "foRo glola"
5. Narval tooth, Scandinavian. "thuRh suaerri" (? Sverri).
6. Sword handle, bone. Anglo-Saxon runes. "iethemyka " (the meek).
7. Anglo-Saxon coin. "Eadnoth" (Name of a coin master of King Offa,
757-796
AD)

Friesian Runes.
===========
Usually written on Taxis wood, a tree which was considered special, bows
were made off its wood.
A book: "A. Quak, Runica Frisia, in: R.H. Bremmer. Aspects of Old
Friesian
Philology, AbaeG 31-32, 1990. Page 357-370.

8. Boone Comb. "Eda".
9. Miniature sword made out of taxis wood, 6th or 7th century. "Edae :
boda"
(Ed the postman).
10. Pieces of a walking stick made out of bone, 8th century. "tuda
awudukiusthu" (or maybe "awadukirithu". (Tuda).
11. Taxis stick, 6th century. "Thiniaeberetdud / [...]n : biridmi" (this
taxis always bares, ...n bares me).
12.  Pen made out of horse bone. "iligliu".
13. Solidus. "skanomodu" Friesian, or English.
14. Bag for a comb.  "Murae".
15. Bone name tag, 6th or 7th century. "i : aehae : k" (I am Ahe).
16. Gold coin 6th, century. "hada".
17. Comb made out of deer antler, 7th century. "xnli"  (Miedema).
18. Comb bag. "l, and upside down l" (laguR, water, sea).
19. Comb made out of deer antler, 8th, or 9th century. "aelb kabu deda
habuku". (Alb did the comb for Habuku).
20. Handle for a sword or knife, 8th, or 9th century. "ekumaeditoka". (I
the
un-maimed grabbed the sword).
21. Solidus, 6th century. "weladu" (Weland).
22. Weave sword, taxis wood. "adugislu : meth gisuhidu" . (Adugisl goes
with
Gisuhilde).
23. Taxis stick, maybe a prayer stick, 8th century.
"ophaemugistndaaemluth /
iwim ostaehthuaen / iwiosustduaele". (At Opheim takes a stand Hamlet,
with
taxis sticks a favor you get, with this taxis do us a favor always"
24. Piece of bone. "inguR ngR" (?Ing). (There you have one of them
"ingaZ"
endings)
25. Gold hanger, 600 AD "hiwi".

There are more...for example, a joker wrote "FM" on an old piece of
bone..."Fries Museum".
However, these are probably fake.

For more information I advise e-mailing the Fries Museum.
http://www.friesmuseum.nl/

My point any how, the first part of the Family name might be a normal
frisian name, and the second part means somthing like"son off..."

Hope this was of some help...I'm a cat food maker, not a liguistickx...
Have a good weekend!
