Engrid, of Germanic origin, means 'strong in peace.' This unique yet timeless name was popularized during the Middle Ages. It is a variant spelling of Ermentrude, a name derived from the Old High German elements 'ermin,' meaning 'whole' or 'universal,' and 'trud,' short for 'Trudpert,' which means 'strength.' Engrid has been used throughout history but remains uncommon today, offering a distinctive choice for parents seeking an unusual yet classic name.
"Engrid was popular for a brief period in the late sixties and again in the late eighties."
