Ingrid comes from the Old Norse Ingiríðr — composed of Ing (the Norse god of fertility and prosperity) and fríðr (beautiful, fair) — meaning "beautiful Ing" or "Ing's beautiful one."
The Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982), star of Casablanca and three-time Academy Award winner, is the most famous Ingrid. The name remains in use across Scandinavia and is returning to use in the English-speaking world.
Ingrid does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Ingrid reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
