Ingra

Ingra is a masculine name that likely derives from Norse and Germanic traditions. It appears to be a variation of the name Inge or Ingar, which comes from the Norse god Ing (also called Yngvi or Freyr), a deity associated with peace, fertility, and prosperity. The element 'Ing' is found in many Germanic names. Though traditionally masculine in this form, related names like Inga have feminine uses in Scandinavian countries. Ingra has a strong, compact sound with its two syllables and carries ancient Nordic heritage. The name remains quite uncommon in English-speaking countries but might appeal to parents seeking a name with historical depth and a connection to Scandinavian ancestry.

Ingra is also given to girls.
