Ingrid (given Name)
Ingrid is a feminine given name. It continues the Old Norse name ''Ingiríðr'', which was a short form of ''Ingfríðr'', composed of the theonym ''Yngvi, Ing'' and the element ''fríðr'' "beloved; beautiful" common in Germanic feminine given names. The name Ingrid (more rarely in the variant ''Ingerid'', ''Ingris'' or ''Ingfrid''; short forms ''Inga, Inger, Ingri'') remains widely given in all of Scandinavia, with the highest frequency in Norway. Norwegian usage peaked in the interbellum period, with more than 2% of newly born girls so named in 1920; popularity declined gradually over the 1930s to 1960s, but picked up again in the late 1970s, peaking above 1.5% in the 1990s.Statistisk Sentralbyrå, National statistics office of Norway, http://www.ssb.no People *Ingerid of Denmark (11th century), Danish princess, Norwegian Queen consort *Saint Ingrid of Skänninge (13th century), Swedish Roman Catholic abbess *Ingrid of Sweden (1910–2000), Swedish princess, Queen Consort of D ...
