About the name Ingrid

Ingrid has a Nordic austerity to it, all hard consonants and no decoration, which is exactly why it sounds so distinctive in a sea of vowel-heavy choices. It has never truly caught on in America despite one of Hollywoods greatest leading ladies wearing it.

Ingrid is a girl name of Old Norse origin, pronounced ING-grid. On the NameRarity scale it scores 85 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1940s.
