editEtymology
editFrom Old Irish ingen, from Primitive Irish ᚔᚅᚔᚌᚓᚅᚐ (inigena), from Proto-Celtic *enigenā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁én (“in”) + *ǵenh₁- (“produce, give birth”) (compare Latin indigena (“native”), Ancient Greek ἐγγόνη (engónē, “granddaughter”)). Ulster Irish níon and modern Scottish Gaelic nighean stem from the same Old Irish source, being metathesised descendants of Old Irish ingen.
