Irven is a boy’s name of Scottish origin and a variant of the name Irvine. Possibly meaning “green or fresh water,” both Irven and the name it’s inspired by come from a river near Irvine in North Ayrshire, Scotland. As an Old English and German name, Irven is just as outdoorsy, drawing from the moniker Erwin, meaning “boar friend.” Fill your little one with an appreciation for earth's creation with this force-of-nature name.
