And Ingrid Bergman
Monday, August 18th, 2008
Ingrid Bergman is a popular actress. And part of that may stem from her familiar name. Bergman is far from a rare surname, after all, and is quite common in Europe.
Here, then, is a listing of notable Bergmans outside of Ingrid’s family. It’s far from a complete list, but you’ll get an idea of how popular the name is.
- Alan Bergman, a lyricist and songwriter
- Andrew Bergman, a screenwriter and director
- Bo Bergman, a poet
- Carl Bergman, a biathlete
- Eva Bergman, a director
- Gustav Bergman, a mayor
- Ingmar Bergman, a stage and film director (who had contact with Ingrid during his time in the business)
- Jaime Bergman, a Playboy playmate and model in general
- Lawrence Bergman, a politician
- Marit Bergman, a musician
- Ulrika Bergman, a curler
Bergman is even the name of a lunar crater, named after chemist Torbern Olof Bergman from the 18th century. Pretty impressive, no?
