About Yngvi-Frey
In the Íslendingabók Yngvi Tyrkja konungr 'Yngvi king of Turkey' appears as father of Njörd who in turn is the father of Yngvi-Freyr, the ancestor of the Ynglings.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yngvi
Yngvi, Yngvin, Ingwine, Inguin are names that relate to an older theonym Ing and which appears to have been the older name for the god Freyr (originally an epitheton, meaning "lord").
Proto-Germanic *Ingwaz was one of the three sons of Mannus and the legendary ancestor of the Ingaevones and is also the reconstructed name of the Elder Futhark ŋ rune.
A torc, the "Ring of Pietroassa", part of a late third- to fourth-century Gothic hoard discovered in Romania, is inscribed in much-damaged runes, one reading of which is gutanī [i(ng)]wi[n] hailag ", "to Ingwi of the Goths. Holy".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yngvi
In Scandinavian mythology, Yngvi, alternatively Yngve, was the progenitor of the Yngling lineage, a legendary dynasty of Swedish kings from whom the earliest historical Norwegian kings in turn claimed to be descended, see also Freyr.
Information on Yngvi varies in different traditions as follows:
Yngvi is a name of the god Freyr, perhaps intended as Freyr's true name while Frey 'Lord' is his common title. In the Ynglinga saga and in Gesta Danorum, Frey is euhemerized as a king of Sweden. In the Ynglinga saga, Yngvi-Frey reigned in succession to his father Njörd who in turn succeeded Odin. Yngvi-Frey's descendants were the Ynglings.
In the Íslendingabók Yngvi Tyrkja konungr 'Yngvi king of Turkey' appears as father of Njörd who in turn is the father of Yngvi-Freyr, the ancestor of the Ynglings.
In the Skjöldunga saga Odin came from Asia and conquered Northern Europe. He gave Sweden to his son Yngvi and Denmark to his son Skjöldr. Since then the kings of Sweden were called Ynglings and those of Denmark Skjöldungs (Scyldings).
In Historia Norwegiæ, Ingui is the first king of Sweden, and the father of Njord, the father of Freyr: Rex itaque Ingui, quem primum Swethiæ monarchiam rexisse plurimi astruunt, genuit Neorth, qui vero genuit Froy; hos ambos tota illorum posteritas per longa sæcula ut deos venerati sunt. Froyr vero genuit Fiolni, qui in dolio medonis dimersus est,[...].
In the introduction to Snorri Sturluson's Edda Snorri claims again that Odin reigned in Sweden and relates: "Odin had with him one of his sons called Yngvi, who was king in Sweden after him; and those houses come from him that are named Ynglings." Snorri here does not identify Yngvi and Frey though Frey occasionally appears elsewhere as a son of Odin instead of a son of Njörd. See Sons of Odin.
In the Skáldskaparmál section of Snorri Sturluson's Edda Snorri brings in the ancient king Halfdan the Old who is the father of nine sons whose names are all words meaning 'king' or 'lord' in Old Norse and nine other sons who are the forefathers of various royal lineages, including "Yngvi, from whom the Ynglings are descended". But rather oddly Snorri immediately follows this with information on what should be four other personages who were not sons of Halfdan but who also fathered dynasties and names the first of these as "Yngvi, from whom the Ynglings are descended". In the related account in the Ættartolur ('Genealogies') attached to Hversu Noregr byggdist, the name Skelfir appears instead of Yngvi in the list of Halfdan's sons. For more details see Scylfing
(The Yngling Saga section of Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla also introduces a second Yngvi son of Alrek who is a descendant of Yngvi-Frey and who shared the Swedish kingship with his brother Álf

The Old Norse name Yngvi is a hypocoristic form of an older and rarer Yngvin (OHG: Inguin, OE: Ingwine), which is derived from the theonym Ing- and means "worshiper or friend of Ing".[2] The theonym would originally have been Proto-Germanic *Inguz,[3] and it appears in Old Norse Ingvifreyr and Ingunarfreyr, as well as in OE fréa inguina, and which mean "Lord of the Inguins", i.e. the god Freyr. The name appears also in Ingvaeones which was an alliance of people surrounding a common cult. Other names that retain the theonym are Inguiomerus/Ingemar and Yngling, the name of an old Scandinavian dynasty.[2]

In Scandinavian mythology, Yngvi, alternatively Yngve, was the progenitor of the Yngling lineage, a legendary dynasty of Swedish kings from whom the earliest historical Norwegian kings in turn claimed to be descended, see also Freyr.
When people talk of Yngvi in the Scandinavian pantheon of gods, they usually mean Yngvi-Freyr, grandson of this Yngvi. In fact, it is hard to find evidence for this Yngvi.
From Norsk mythology
The Vanir gods, subordinate to the Aesir, were responsible for ensuring fertility and prosperity. Njord, seen by many scholars as a masculinization of the older fertility goddess, Nerthus, is depicted as a god of the sea and of riches and prosperity. His son, Freyr also known as Yngvi, was also a god of fertility who is described in several sources as the ancestor of the line of Swedish kings. His sister, Freyja, was a goddess not only of love and fertility but also of a primitive form of magic, seiyr, which she is said to have taught to Odin and the Aesir.
Nerthus is described as Terra Mater ("Earth Mother"), but her name corresponds to that of the god Njord (from Germanic Nerthuz). Scholars have attempted various explanations of this puzzling change of sex, assuming that the original deity was androgynous or claiming that the loss of feminine nouns of the type Njš‚rd represents triggered the reinterpretation of the goddess as a male god. As Njord is essentially a god of the sea and its riches, it may be preferable to consider Nerthus and Njš‚rd as originally separate gods altogether, whose relationship might be similar to that of Poseidon ("Husband of the Earth-Goddess") and Demeter ("Earth Mother") in Arcadia. Etymologically, the name Njord could then be related to that of the Greek "Old Man of the Sea," Nereus. Before coming to the Aesir, Njord was supposed to have begotten his two children with his (unnamed) sister. Since such incestuous unions were not allowed among the Aesir, Njord afterward married Skadi (Skašži), daughter of the giant Thjazi. Evidence from place-names shows that Njord was worshiped widely in Sweden and Norway, and he was one of the gods whom Icelanders invoked when they swore their most sacred oaths.
Njord - "Stiller-of-storms", Vana-God of seafaring: controls wind, stills sea and fire. Lives in Noatun ("Boat-Town"), was married to Giantess Skadi who picked him for his beautiful feet, by mistake, thinking he was Balder. Njord and Skadi could not agree on where to live. She didn't like his home, and he didn't like hers, so they split up. He has ten children, most famous are Frey and Freya. He is Frigg's brother.
Vanir
Few vanic gods and goddesses were recorded within the eddas. Here, we will cover not only the three known Vanir, but also those associated with them.
Njord - god of the sea. Father to twins Frey and Freya by his sister, name unknown. He married to Skadhi, but separated when things did not work out.
Skadhi- daughter to Thiazi, the giant killed for trying to steal Idunna. This action brought Skadhi to Asgard demanding payment for her father's death. She was told she could choose a husband by his legs. Wanting Balder, she chose the best legs, and this happened to be Niord.
Unfortunately, she could not stand the sound of sea birds. Therefore, his home was out of the question. Niord could not stand the howling of the wolves so he moved back home.
Frey- son of Njord.
Freya- daughter of Njord.
Skinir- servant and friend to Frey. With the horse and sword given to him by Frey, he goes and gets Gerd to be Frey's wife.
Gerd- Frey's wife, and daughter to Gymir
Mythical son of Odin https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ynglinge%C3%A6tten
8.YNGVI. (Yngvi-Freyr, Ölldner, Ölner). A son of Odin in the prologue to the Edda. Yngvi is ancestor of the legendary Swedish Ynglings. Discussions of Yngvi are mostly identical with Frey in extant texts, even though in almost all sources Frey (often called Yngvi-Frey) is instead the son of Njörd. But a Faroese ballad recorded in 1840 names Odin's son as Veraldur, this Veraldur being understood as another name of Frö, that is of Frey. (S4).

Yngvi, Ingui or Ing appears to have been the older name for the god Freyr (originally an epitheton, meaning "lord")

Odins sønn Veraldur skriver seg fra et gammel middelalderballade fra Færøyene, nedskrevet rundt 1840. Der er det Odins sønn Veraldur som mot sin fars råd drar på frierferd til fremmed land. Den lokale kongen misliker ham, og narrer ham til å falle i et fat øl og drukne. Her må det legges til at Snorre identifiserer Frøy som «veraldar goð», så kanskje vi egentlig er tilbake til et sagn om Frøy, som jo Snorre identifiserer som far til Fjolne. Landet det skjer i er muligens samme Selund som for historien om Fjolne.
VeraldurDumézil (1973, Appendix I) cites a Faroese ballad recorded in 1840 about Odin and his son Veraldur. It is believed that this Veraldur is also Frey, as per Snorri's statement that Frey was veraldar góð as mentioned above.
In this ballad Veraldur, Odin's son, sets off to Zealand to seek the king's daughter in marriage despite Odin's warnings. The king of Zealand mislikes Veraldur and tricks him into falling into a brewing vat in a "hall of stone" where Veraldur drowns. When Odin hears the news, he decides to die and go to Asgard where his followers will be also be welcomed after death.
The tale is similar to that of the death of Fjölnir son of Frey who accidentally fell into a vat of mead and drowned while paying a friendly visit to Fridfródi the ruler of Zealand. This is told in the Ynglinga saga. Saxo Grammaticus also relates (Gesta Danorum, Book 1) how King Hunding of Sweden believed a rumor that King Hadding of Denmark had died and held his obsequies with ceremony, including an enormous vat of ale. Hunding himself served the ale, but accidentally stumbled and fell into the vat, choked, and drowned. When word of this came to King Hadding of this unfortunate death, King Hadding publicly hanged himself.
