Comments for the name Ingeborg

The first G is hard, the second G is soft and pronounced like Y in "year" or "may". The main stress is on the first syllable.

Ingibjörg is actually the name of my mom and it's a common Icelandic name. So the whole Old Norse thing was kind of funny to read. I'll have to tell my Mom that. Heh.

The German pronunciation is ING-e-bawrk. [noted -ed]

In Norwegian the first G is pronounced like a Y, so inyuh-borg.
