Yngvi-Freyr

A name given to Freyr in Ynglinga saga:

Frey was called by another name, Yngve; and this name Yngve was considered long after in his race as a name of honour, so that his descendants have since been called Ynglinger.

Yngvi-Freyr's son is Fjolne. The Nafnaþulur lists Yngvi-Freyr among the Æsir and among the sons of Odin. In the eddic poem Lokasenna Freyr is called Ingunar-Freyr.
