Ingewald
Ingewald is a given name of Germanic origin. It is composed of two elements: "ing," which likely refers to the god Ing, a deity associated with fertility and prosperity in ancient Germanic mythology, and "wald," meaning "ruler" or "power." Therefore, the name can be interpreted as "ruler of Ing" or "power of Ing." The name was historically more common among Germanic peoples. As a given name, it has seen varying degrees of popularity over time and across different regions where Germanic languages were or are spoken. It is not as widely used today as some other traditional Germanic names. Information on notable individuals bearing this name is relatively scarce in readily available historical records compared to more common names. Its usage may be more prevalent in specific familial lineages or smaller communities.
