Originally 'Germund's outlying farm', v. þorp . ON , ODan  Ge (i )rmund (r ) was replaced by Ingman , presumably the name of a later tenant; this pers.n., recorded as a surname from 1444 (Bardsley), occurs as early Dan  Ingiman , Swed  Ingeman , possibly a later form of ON  Ingimundr , but since both themes of the pers.n.
