Meaning: Guarded by Ing

Nature can be a powerful teacher, and with the name Ingeborg, your little one will be its star pupil! This masculine pick derives from Old Norse and combines Ing, a mythological god of Earth's fertility, with bjǫrg, meaning "stronghold" or "protection." Like many Ing-beginning names, it means "guarded by Ing" and is most common in the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. A baby named Ingeborg will be a loyal ally of Earth's beauty and protect it at all costs.
