She was born in USA, I do not know where her family may have been from before that. Their family name is Dahl.

Also, she pronounced her name with the ing like the american ending of words -ing. ING-an. Hard G sound.

It could be a made up name. I do not know.

Dahl is Norweigan isn't it? so it might be related to names derived from the Scandinavian/Germanic God Ing

It could be a form of Ingun

Ingun is a Norwegian name. (But the surname Dahl is Swedish as well as Norwegian.)
