2. Last part from the verb yngle (“create, procreate, grow”), from the adjective ung (“young”), from Old Norse ungr (“young”), from Old Norse ungr (“young”), from Proto-Germanic *jungaz (“young”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yuh₁n̥ḱós (“young”), from *h₂yuh₁en- (“young”), from both *h₂óyu (“long time, lifetime”), from *h₂ey- (“vital force, life, age, eternity”) + and from *-Hō (“Hoffmann's suffix”).
