Ingrim is Germanic in Origin.

Ingrim is a rare medieval Germanic name, now encountered mostly as a variant of Ingram. It descends from the elements Ing (Yngvi/Ing, the fertility god revered by early Germanic peoples) and hraban/hramn, "raven." The composite likely meant "Ing's raven" or "raven of Ing," invoking the raven as a battle-wise, prophetic bird and a deity's patronage, an auspicious image for a warrior.

Carried into Britain by the Normans (compare the Old French form Enguerrand), it appears in medieval records in northern England and Scotland, later stabilizing as the given name and surname Ingram. The spelling Ingrim surfaces intermittently in parish registers and early modern documents, and occasionally reappears in 18th- to 19th-century American records. Related or historical variants include Ingram, Ingraham, Engram, Ingelram/Engelram (Latinized forms), and French Enguerrand; cognate Germanic surnames such as Ingramm are also found. While uncommon today, Ingrim preserves a crisp, archaic sound with deep mythic roots.
