It is my name and I like it very much. It is short, strong, classic, medieval, and used in a variety of languages and cultures along the centuries. It is pagan in origin but also a saint's name. In English some people mispronounce it as "EYE"-gor instead of EE-gor. At least it's easy to spell when someone does ask me to spell it out.

Slavic form of Yngvarr (see INGVAR). The Varangians brought it to Kievan Rus' around 10th century. It was borne by two Grand Princes of Kiev. A famous bearer was Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971), a Russian composer whose most famous work is 'The Rite of Spring'. Another famous bearer is inventor of helicopter Igor Sikorsky (1889–1972).
