Ingrid is a Scandinavian name of Norse origin, derived from the elements 'ing' meaning 'daughter' and 'fríðr' meaning 'beautiful'. It was popularized by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen in his 1867 work 'The Lady from the Sea', where he used Ingrid as one of the main character's names.
The name Ingrid experienced a gap between its usage in 1964-1969 with only one birth recorded each year, and then a significant drop in popularity by 1982 with just five births reported that year. Overall, there were 18 babies named Ingrid born over these three years.
