What is the meaning of the name Ingegerdina ?

Ingegerdina is Dutch, German, Norse in Origin.

Ingegerdina is a rare Dutch and Frisian elaboration of the Scandinavian name Ingegerd, built with the feminine suffix -ina. It derives from Old Norse Ingigerðr, from Ing/Yngvi (the god Freyr) + gerðr ‘enclosure, protection’, conveying “protected by Ing” or “Ing’s stronghold.”

Recorded sporadically in 19th–20th‑century registers in the Low Countries, the form is uncommon today and typically shortened in daily use. The base name is anchored in Nordic tradition by Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden (St. Anna of Novgorod, 11th century), which encouraged periodic Scandinavian use. Within Scandinavia, the base form saw medieval prominence and modest 20th‑century revivals. Variants and related forms include Ingegerd, Ingegärd (Swedish), Ingjerd (Norwegian), and the Old Norse Ingigerðr; short forms and diminutives such as Inger, Inge, Gerd, Gerda, and Dina also occur.
