History & Origin

Ingri is a Scandinavian short form of Ingrid, a name built from Ing, the Norse fertility god also called Yngvi, and fridr, meaning 'beautiful' or 'beloved.' Dropping the final -d gives a gentler, more open ending while keeping the name's strong Nordic heritage.

In the United States Ingri was always rare, surfacing quietly and peaking around 2007 with only about twenty girls a year. A girl named Ingri then is still young, though the name's roots reach back centuries in Scandinavia.

Did you know? Ingrid gained lasting glamour from Swedish-born actress Ingrid Bergman; short forms like Ingri kept the Nordic sound while feeling a touch softer and more informal.
