Ivor (other)
Ivor is an English masculine given name derived either directly from Old Norse, Norse ''Ívarr'', or through Welsh language, Welsh (which spells it ''Ifor'') or Irish language, Irish and Scottish Gaelic (which spell it ''Íomhar''), all of which likely derive it also from the original Norse form.The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe The Norse name is derived from the Old Norse elements (yew, bow) and (warrior, army): hence, 'archer, bow warrior'. It is possible the old Norse name ''Ívarr'' comes from the Celtic root and may be related to the Celtic root of ''-iv'' which is found in ''St. Ives'' for example, itself possibly referring to yew. This could indicate an earlier shared language origin; potentially through Indo-European, previous contact or another source. Some of the earliest known bearers of the name are Ibar of Beggerin, an Irish saint who may have preceded or been contemporary with St. Patrick and probably died in the 500s; Ivar the Bonel ...
