Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Igor je východoslovanskou podobou staroseverského mena Yngvarr (Ingvarr). Jeho prvá časť súvisí s menom germánskeho božstva Yngviho a druhá s výrazom označujúcim vojsko alebo bojovníka. Do východoslovanského prostredia sa meno dostalo prostredníctvom škandinávskych Varjagov v období Kyjevskej Rusi.
