No offense to anyone but I don't like this name, it sounds cold and evil.-- Anonymous User 10/10/2006

It's definitely not. Russian form of George is Jurij (Yuriy).-- Ninuska 10/5/2011
Another origin is from Old Norse "Yngvar". "Yng" is a shortened form of "Freyr", and "var" means warrior or defender.-- scigirl543 7/26/2007
That green tubby assistant to the count on The Hilarious House of Frightenstein was named Igor.-- Zepton 8/31/2008
I think it would've been a nice name if it wasn't connected to the character in Frankenstein. I don't want my child's peers to laugh at him.-- iboz75 12/11/2008
The name is of Slavic origin not Norse, we have other names such as Jago, Jagomir, Jagos and Jagor which is derived from a flower of the same name + a feminine suffix (jagorcevina, jagorcika). Also Ivor is Slavic deriving from the word 'javor' (marple tree). Both names occur in Serbian.-- Anonymous User 1/29/2009

The name originates in Israel.-- Anonymous User 12/10/2010
Igor has absolutely nothing to do with Israel uneducated one. Plus the way Igor is pronounced in Russian is E gahr very soft with a very soft R at the end. In English speaking countries it sounds rough because English is a harsher sounding language in general.-- Anonymous User 4/16/2011
