Ingunar-Freyr is the name given to Freyr in the Lokasenna <small>(43)</small> and in the Great saga of Saint Olaf.
It is often assumed that Ingunar is the West-Germanic equivalent of the Scandinavian Yngvi.
The meaning of Ingunar remains uncertain. It could be related to the Ingaevones, a Germanic tribe. Another solution is to understand Ingunar as the genitive form of Ingun, who would be a fertility goddess.
A close form, ("lord of the friends of Ing") is used in Beowulf <small>(1319)</small>, where it refers to the Danish king Hroðgar.
