Ingbert is a proper noun primarily referred to as a place name, specifically a city located in the Saarland region of southwestern Germany.

This element may also have a connection to the Germanic god "Ing," who was associated with fertility and agriculture. The second element, "Bert," stems from the Old High German word "beraht," translating to "bright" or "famous."

The name "Ingbert" is of Germanic origin and has two parts: "Ing" and "bert".
The first part, "Ing" comes from the Germanic god named Ingui or Ingwaz. Ingui was a fertility god in Germanic mythology and was associated with the earth and agriculture. Over time, the name Ingui evolved into different forms in various Germanic languages, such as Ing, Ingwis, and Ingo, among others.
The second part, "bert" is derived from the Germanic element "berht" or "beraht", which means "bright" or "famous". This element was commonly used in Germanic names to indicate qualities like greatness, strength, or prominence.
When these two elements are combined, "Ingbert" can be understood to mean something like "bright Ingui" or "famous Ingui".
