Proper noun

Ing m

1. a male given name from legend
   • 8th or 9th century, Unknown, Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem:

     Ing wæs ǣrest · mid Ēastdenum
     ġesewen seċġum, · oþ hē sīþþan ēast
     ofer wæġ ġewāt, · wæn after rann;
     þus Heardingas · þone hæle nemdon.

     Ing was first among the Eastern Danes seen by men, until he soon afterwards departed over the ways, a wain followed after. Thus bold men named this hero.

2. the runic character ᛝ (/ŋɡ, ŋ/)
