Ingunar-Freyr is thename given to Freyr in theLokasenna(43) and in theGreat saga of Saint Olaf.
It is often assumed thatIngunar is the West-Germanic equivalent of the ScandinavianYngvi.[1]
The meaning ofIngunar remains uncertain. It could be related to theIngaevones, a Germanic tribe. Another solution is to understand Ingunar as the genitive form of Ingun, who would be a fertility goddess.[2]
A close form,frea Ingwina ("lord of the friends ofIng") is used inBeowulf(1319), where it refers to the Danish kingHroðgar.
