As I said to the others, it's all explained at the site below, by Wayne Iggulden, who's done extraordinary research on the name and all its derivations - being in fact the most mispelled name in history! A shield of arms is also included.Enjoy:http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~iggs~Kinkazzo

Ingle seems to be a personal name as an example : INGELTON Durham is proably "farmstead of man called Ingel" pers name + OE Tun and INGLESHAM wiltshire is "enclosure or river-meadow of a man called Ingen or Ingin". so following alon the same lines Ingleden could be "valley of man called Ingel".
