In the Swabian Duchy, many small towns have names ending with "-ingen."
For example, the territory of the Falcon Family is Hexingen, to the northeast is the territory of the Fishbone Family, Reutlingen, and if you continue straight north, there's Metzingen, Plochingen, and finally Stuttgart City.
The suffix "-ingen" in ancient Germanic refers to "tribe."
For instance, Mossingen signifies a settlement established by a person named Moss, and the origins of other towns with similar names are largely the same.
This practice of naming places after people was common in feudal countries. For example, the well-known "Shijiazhuang City" originated from Shijiazhuang Village, allegedly named so because there were many residents with the surname "Shi."
As for why this surname was predominant, one would have to inquire about the surname of the original landlord of the village...
