Meaning and background
The story behind Jinger
Jinger is documented as a personal name through author Jinger Duggar Vuolo. The FaithGateway listing for Becoming Free Indeed identifies her by that spelling and gives the book's subtitle, My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear. This provides a concrete author and book association for the name. It does not establish whether Jinger was formed from Ginger, nor does the book listing support a spice-related etymology for every bearer.
