While reading about the Nashi, former youth movement in Russia, I found thing called the voluntary youth squad that was lead by a guy called Yevgeniy Indzhgiya. Does anyone have any idea where this last name comes from, language/culture and/or meaning? My best guess would be Georgian but I'm not sure. The last name on forebears: https://forebears.io/surnames/indzhgiyaThe youth squad he lead:

It is Mingrelian based on the -ia ending, and its native spelling is ინჯგია (Injgia). I can't figure out what the stem part could represent though.
