InGa

Inga is a feminine given name used in several languages, including Scandinavian and Baltic regions. In Scandinavia it is often regarded as an independent name or as a shortened form of Ingeborg or Ingrid. The name has appeared in literature, film, and music and is borne by public figures in various fields.

In biology, Inga is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs in the legume family, Fabaceae, native to tropical Americas and the Caribbean. Inga species are known for their pendulous inflorescences and edible pulp surrounding the seeds, which is eaten fresh, pressed into beverages, or used in desserts. The best-known species include Inga edulis, Inga vera, and Inga spectabilis. Inga trees are fast-growing and nitrogen-fixing, contributing to soil fertility in agroforestry systems; their wood is used locally for construction or fuel.
