Meaning & origin
Ingris is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1976, with its peak usage occurring in 2004. It has remained consistently stable in its low frequency since then, never ranking in the top 1000. The name is likely a modern variant of the Scandinavian Ingrid or possibly a respelling of Ines, but its exact origin is uncertain. Its simplicity and soft ending give it a contemporary feel, and it is most often chosen by parents looking for an uncommon name with familiar sounds.
Ingris is a rare modern name, probably an alteration of the Scandinavian name Ingrid (from the Old Norse Ingiríðr, composed of the god Ing and fríðr 'beautiful'). Alternatively, it could be a respelling of Ines (from Spanish/Portuguese Inês, ultimately from Agnes). However, no definitive etymology is attested.
