Ing-Marie as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Ing-Marie

What is the meaning of the name Ing-Marie ?

Ing-Marie is Scandinavian in Origin.

Ing-Marie is a modern Scandinavian compound given name, used chiefly in Sweden, that fuses the Norse theophoric element Ing- with Marie. Ing- stems from Old Norse Yngvi (linked to the god Freyr) and ultimately Proto-Germanic Ingwaz, carrying associations of fertility and prosperity. Marie is the Scandinavian/French form of Mary, from Hebrew Miryam, variously interpreted as "beloved," "wished-for child," or "sea of bitterness." Together the name signals a blend of pre-Christian and Christian heritage rather than a literal combined meaning.

Hyphenated female double names flourished in Scandinavia in the mid-20th century, and Ing-Marie saw particular use in Sweden from the 1940s through the 1970s; it is rare for newborns today but remains recognizable through bearers such as the Swedish psychiatrist and public official Ing-Marie Wieselgren. Close variants include Inga-Marie, Inge-Marie, Inger-Marie, and the unhyphenated or shortened forms Ingmarie and Ing-Mari.
