I thought that was North. Ingvar is a man’s name, with Inga being the female version.
Ingar is a Norwegian male name of Old Norse origin meaning “guarded by the god Ing” or “warrior for the god Ing”. The name is composed of the god’s name Ing and the word for warrior. In Norway, Ingar is a relatively common male name that became particularly popular from the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s.
Meaning and origin
Ing: One of the names of the Norse god Frey.
Ar: Probably comes from the Old Norse word arr, meaning “warrior” or “guard”.
Thank you for pointing out my error. Apologies to North and Ingar if I have caused any offence. I have amended my original post.
Thanks for the heads up regarding my schoolboy mistake (again) Cheers
How do you know? Is there a compass somewhere?
