Inigo? wannago in English? edit

"??? Inigo derives from the Castilian rendering (Íñigo) of the medieval Basque name Eneko.[1] Ultimately, the name means "my little (love)".[2] While mostly seen among the Iberian diaspora, it also gained a limited popularity in the United Kingdom.

Early traces of the name Eneko go back to Roman times, but the first certain attestation of it is from the early Middle Ages. The name appears in Latin, as Enneco, and Arabic, as Wannaqo (ونقه) in reports of Íñigo Arista (c. 790–851 or 852), a Basque who ruled Pamplona. It can be compared with its feminine form, Oneca. It was frequently represented in medieval documents as Ignatius (Spanish "Ignacio"),[citation needed] which is thought to be etymologically distinct, coming from the Roman name Egnatius, from Latin ignotus, meaning "unknowing",[3] or from the Latin word for fire, ignis. The familiar Ignatius may simply have served as a convenient substitution when representing the unfamiliar Íñigo/Eneko in scribal Latin. "64.180.192.216 (talk) 17:43, 18 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
