Ingram is a Germanic name that came into English by way of Anglo-French and Norman transmission. The most reliable reading ties it to "Ing" — the same god-name element found in Ingrid — combined with "raven," though which element comes first is disputed. You may see it glossed elsewhere as "raven of peace," but no source here backs that "peace" element.
