What is the meaning of the name Ingemur ?

The baby name Ingemur is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ING-eh-moor (approx. /ˈɪŋɡəˌmʊr/).

Ingemur is Norse, Scandinavian in Origin.

Ingemur is a Scandinavian male given name most closely related to the Swedish/Norwegian forms Ingemar and Ingmar. It traces to Old Norse Ingimarr, built from Ing (Yngvi/Freyr, the fertility god and legendary ancestor of the Ynglingar) + mærr “renowned, famous.” The composite therefore means “famous through Ing” or “Ing-renowned.” Phonetic and regional developments across the Nordic languages account for the u in Ingemur, which appears as a rare variant alongside the more common -mar endings.

Use of the Ing- names is well attested in medieval Norse sources and saw a modern revival during Nordic national romanticism, with Ingemar becoming widespread in 20th‑century Sweden; Ingemur, by contrast, has remained uncommon and regionally marked in Norway. Documented variants and cognates include Ingemar, Ingmar, Ingimar (Icelandic/Faroese), and the Old Norse Ingimarr; related but distinct are Ingvar and Ingemund. Diminutives may appear as Ing-, Inge-, or Mar‑based nicknames in Scandinavian contexts.
