[8] Yngvi: Yngvi is most likely identical with the mythical ancestor of the Ynglingar (from *Ingwiniʀ ‘friend of Ingr’; cf. OHG Ingwin). See Introduction to Þjóð YtI. It is also the name of several legendary kings and heroes (e.g. Yngvi Alreksson in Ættartölur, Flat 1860-8, I, 26; see also SnE 1998, II, 521 and Note to Þul Konunga 3/4).
