Meaning & History

Ygritte is the name of a ‘wildling’ or ‘free folk’ character from the Song of Ice and Fire books by GRR Martin and the TV show Game of Thrones based upon the former.
Being a recent invention for a fictious world resembling Medieval Europe, it’s obviously intended to have a Norse or Germanic feel to it, but no actual or alleged etymology is known.
