Ingesson

Ingesson is a surname of Swedish origin. It is a patronymic name formed from the given name Inge, with the suffix -sson meaning “son of.” This type of construction reflects a common Nordic naming tradition in which a family name derives from a father’s given name.

The name is most prevalent in Sweden and among Swedish-speaking populations. Through migration and diaspora, bearers of the surname can also be found in Finland, Norway, Denmark, and in countries with historical or contemporary Swedish communities, including parts of North America.

Variant spellings occur in historical records and anglicized contexts. Common alternatives include Ingerson and Ingeson, which have arisen from transliteration, clerical recording, or adaptation to non-Swedish language conventions. While these variants are related etymologically, their usage may reflect different geographic or linguistic backgrounds.
