Where did your name come from?
Yes, that is the meaning of my name Ingvild. My own foremothers struggle. And it’s so true to my family research passion, plus my interest in roots of my own life story. My mother had intended to name me Ingvild when I was born. I think my father may also agreed to it, but I got a different name. So I chose it. Again.
I’m autistic/an Aspie and it matter to my writing. I like to mention always my background, I will apologize for repeating words and topics. I’m also Norwegian speaking, but my silly Norwenglish is, however, quite good 🤭😂💖💕
In addition I recently changed my name to feel more comfortable and genuine in my identity. I have currently three given names, and all of them are of Norse origin. I’m a Sámi girl and I feel like my names are ‘Sámi enough’ names for my deep roots in the Arctic region.
Some info on my sidereal astrology and strong liking for many types of beverages, different off-topic from this particular dailyprompt:
I do some deep inner work related to my ancestors adversity being of ethnic minority groups and my own shame from youth years related to my moderate-severe degree case (I’m since officially diagnosed in 2010 at age 17) of Asperger syndrome and other conditions being target of bullies and other abuse. Yes, I’ve been nearly broken and I’m still deeply wounded in some quite profound ways. I’m a quadruple Leo of 12th house as I’ve said before with a Scorpio sign Moon in 4th house and I love drinking cold beverages like iced tea, the Battery energy drinks of Finland and rusbrus/alcopop plus hard (alcohol-containing) cider. I also enjoy hot tea like Earl Grey and herbal tea like the calming nature lavender and chamomille types.
So that’s something about my name Ingvild. Ancestors battle and deep spiritual needs for knowing my roots, where I really feel at home.
