Ivar (Old Norse Ívarr) is a Scandinavian masculine given name. A other variant of the name is Iver, who is more widespread in Norway. The Old Norse name has several possible etymologies. In North Germanic phonology, several of the elements common to Germanic names became homophonous. The first element Ívarr may contain yr "yew" and -arr (from hari, "warrior"), but it may have become partly conflated with Ingvar, and possibly Joar (element jó "horse"). The second element -arr may alternatively also be from geir "spear" or it may be var "protector".[1] The name was adopted into English as Ivor, into Gaelic as Iomhar, and into Latvian as Ivars.
