Ingamar

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: Son of Ing

Ingamar is a Scandinavian name traditionally borne by boys. One of many names beginning with the Germanic element ing—like Ingemar or Inge—Ingamar simply translates to “son of Ing” but gets its mythical edge from its ties to the Norse god Yngvi. In Norse mythology, Yngvi is revered as the ruler of peace and fertility and, in some tales, as deity over the rain, sun, beauty, and war. With a moniker as magical as this one, there'll be nothing your newest little legend can't do!
