Originating from Scandinavia, the name Ingrid is a derivation of the Old Norse elements 'Ing' and 'fríðr', which translates to 'ing' and 'beautiful'. This elegant moniker gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century, likely due to its use by notable individuals such as Norwegian actress Ingrid Bergman. Pronounced /ˈɪnɡrɪd/, it carries a melody reminiscent of its Scandinavian roots while offering a distinct, feminine charm.
"The name Ingrid saw its most popular years in 1982 and again in 1992, with both periods witnessing 5 births each. However, the peak occurred in 1989, when there were 7 births."
