Igorr is Slavic in Origin.

Igorr is a modern, stylistic double‑r spelling of Igor, a Slavic form ultimately from Old Norse Yngvarr. The name combines the theonym Ing/Yngvi (associated with the god Freyr) with -arr “warrior,” yielding the sense “Ing’s warrior” or “warrior of the god Ing.” Brought to Eastern Europe by Varangian traders and rulers, it became established in Kievan Rus’ (notably Prince Igor of Kiev, 10th c.) and later spread throughout Slavic languages. Cultural bearers include composer Igor Stravinsky and numerous athletes and artists.

Variants and cognates include Igor (standard across Slavic languages), Ihor (Ukrainian), Ihar (Belarusian), and Scandinavian Ingvar; Spanish and Portuguese sometimes mark stress as Ígor. Russian diminutives include Igoryok and Garik. Despite the creative spelling, Igorr keeps the traditional pronunciation and meaning. Note that Yegor/Egor is a separate name related to George, not a variant of Igor/Igorr.
