Meaning & origin
Ingrid has been recorded in the United States since 1897, reaching its peak popularity in 1967. The name has been on a downward trajectory since 2007, currently ranking 1,120th with approximately 1 in 7,690 baby girls receiving the name. It maintains a strong presence in Washington, D.C., Minnesota, and Wisconsin, reflecting its enduring appeal in Scandinavian-influenced regions.
Ingrid is a Scandinavian name derived from the Old Norse Ingríðr, composed of Ing (a god associated with fertility and peace) and fríðr meaning 'beautiful' or 'beloved.' The name has been used in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark since the Middle Ages and was popularized internationally through Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman.
