Meaning and history
Ingeborg comes from the Old Norse name Ingibjǫrg, formed from the Germanic god Ing and bjǫrg, meaning “help” or “salvation.” It was borne by a Danish princess who married Philip II of France in the 12th century.
Ingeborg moved from #977 to #986 for girls between 1901 and 1905. That year also produced its highest recorded birth count, at 15.
