Ingamar

Ingamar is a masculine name with Norse and Germanic roots. Derived from the Old Norse elements 'Ing' (referring to a fertility god) and 'mar' (famous), it essentially means 'famous son of Ing' or 'Ing's glory.' This name shares origins with the more common Scandinavian name Ingmar, made famous by Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. As a relatively rare name in English-speaking countries, Ingamar carries a distinctive, strong character with historical depth. The name has remained uncommon but appreciated for its Nordic heritage and distinctive sound, appealing to parents looking for a masculine name with ancient roots and historical significance.

Pronounced ING-ah-mar.
