Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno pochádza zo staroseverského mena Ingríðr, resp. Ingiríðr, ktoré vzniklo skrátením staršieho Ingifríðr. Je zložené z teonyma Ing, mena germánskeho božstva stotožňovaného so severským Yngvim-Freyrom, a prvku fríðr vo význame „krásny, pôvabný, milovaný“. Meno sa preto vykladá ako „Ingova krásna“ alebo „Ingom milovaná“.
