History & Origin

Ingris appeared in American records from the mid nineteen-seventies, chiefly among Spanish-speaking families, and reached its quiet high around 2004.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak. A girl named Ingris then would be nearing fifty today. The name carries a strong Norse meaning through a spelling shaped by Latin American use.

Did you know? Ingrid honors the Norse god Ing, or Yngvi, linked to peace and plenty; the Ingris spelling traveled through Latin America, where it took on a softer, Spanish-style sound.
