Wikipedia: His origin is obscure, but his patronymic indicates that he was the son of an Íñigo. His mother also married Musa ibn Fortun ibn Qasi, by whom she was mother of Musa ibn Musa head of the Banu Qasi and Moslem ruler of Tuleda, one of the chief lords of Valley of the Ebro. Due to this relationship, Íñigo and his kin frequently acted in alliance with Musa ibn Musa and this relationship allowed Íñigo to extend his influence over large territories in the Pirenean valleys. The name of the wife (or wives) of Íñigo is not reported in contemporary records, although chronicles from centuries later assign her the name of Toda or Oneca.

While researching another profile, that of Aisha bint Abdul aka bint Abdul, it was noticed that Íñigo Arista, sometimes referred to as Íñigo Iñíguez Arista (++see below), appeared in WikiTree with two wives, Ónneca, who was his mother, not his wife, and that there were an additional two profiles for Ónneca that needed to be merged as well: ^[1]

• Onecca Velazquez de Pamplona
• Oneca (Oneca Velazquez) de Pamplona formerly Pamplona
• Oneca of UNKNOWN currently Unknown-482495
• Oneca de Pamplona formerly Velasquez

Merges have been initiated for the four profiles listed above; Ónneca Unknown , (previously UNKNOWN-114558), is the file that should be left afterwards. For further details, please consult Ónneca's profile.

As to Íñigo Arista's profile, on 17 Aug 2019, his middle name was left blank (was "Arista"), and "Arista" included in the CLN field, replacing "de Pamplona". His father, Jiménez-86, was left as is, his mother, N-155, removed from his profile but left as his father's wife, and Unknown-482495 added as his mother, & also as Jiménez-86's wife.

(++) Regarding the name Íñigo Iñíguez, it comes from reliable Arabic text in which he is referred to as "Wannaqo ben Wannaqo", the equivalent to Íñigo Íñiguez. In this case the patronymic may refer more to the lineage rather than the parent. His father's name is said to have been (tentatively) Íñigo Jiménez. The patronymic, Jiménez, is uncertain and probably comes from a less reliable monastic source created much later. Arista (cognomen Aresta) was actually a nickname but has stuck as his surname. ^[1]
