Yngvi

"Yngvi-Freyr builds the Uppsala temple" (1830) by Hugo Hamilton.

Old Norse Yngvi [ˈyŋɡwe], Old High German Ing/Ingwi[1] and Old English Ing are names that relate to a theonym which appears to have been the older name for the god Freyr. Proto-Germanic Ingwaz was the legendary ancestor of the Ingaevones, or more accurately Ingvaeones, and is also the reconstructed name of the Elder Futhark rune ᛜ and Anglo-Saxon rune ᛝ, representing ŋ.
