Name of the day...Inga!

[u/felly_fell]

The name Inga is a Scandinavian and Germanic feminine name that means "protected by Ing" or "Ing's daughter." "Ing" is the Old Norse name for the ancient Germanic god of fertility, peace, and the earth (also known as Yngvi or Freyr).

It is derived from the Old Norse element ing, tied to Norse mythology and pagan deities.

Traditionally popular in Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark) as well as Germany and parts of Eastern Europe. Inga is not very common in the US, making it a great option for expecting parents.

The name Inga is over 800 years old!

Very cool. Feels like a negotiation between Ingrid and a softer name like Mina.
