Meaning & Origin
A large village and civil parish (served by The Ivers Parish Council) in Buckinghamshire, England, previously in South Bucks district .
Iver is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old Norse origin, an Anglicized form of Ivar, composed of yr ('yew bow') and arr ('warrior'), meaning 'bow warrior.' Vikings named Ivar the Boneless and Ivar Ragnarsson were feared Norse leaders, lending this name a rugged Nordic strength.
Iver is emerging as a sleek, sophisticated alternative to Ivan and Oliver in the current trend for short, Nordic-inflected names.
