Ingritte is in Origin.

Ingritte is a modern, Francophone-leaning variant of Ingrid, ultimately from Old Norse Ingiríðr (also Ingríðr), formed from Ing-/Yngvi (a Germanic deity linked with the god Freyr) and fríðr “fair, lovely, beloved.” The sense is “fair/beautiful, beloved of Ing,” often paraphrased as “Ing’s beauty.”

The root name flourished in medieval Scandinavia - borne by queens such as Ingrid Ragnvaldsdotter - and spread widely in the 20th century through figures like actress Ingrid Bergman. Ingritte appears sporadically today, especially in regions where -tte endings feel natural, and reads as a chic, continental twist on the classic. Related forms and variants include Ingrid, Ingrit (Estonian and Slavic use), Ingrida (Latvian, Lithuanian), Ingerid (Norwegian), and the short forms Inga and Inge; German pet forms include Grit and Gritt. Possible nicknames for Ingritte echo these: Inga, Inge, or Grit.
