ArchivesRe: what does my name mean???
in reply to a message by Ingris_91
Why did your parents choose this name for you? Are you male or female? What was your parents' cultural background?
Ingres is a French surname of uncertain origin, though according to Hanks and Hodges's A Dictionary of Surnames it may come from an Old French word meaning "thin, scrawny". But this may have no relationship to your given name, depending on how your parents chose it.
