Ive

US Popularity Rank: 11283

Origin: German

Meaning: Yew

Ive is a wonderful name of Old French origin. Traditionally given to boys, Ive is derived from the Germanic name Ivo, which itself is formed from the element iwa, meaning “yew.” The name Ive is believed to have been quite popular in the past, especially among the Normans and Bretons. But with its better-known iteration, Yves, on luxury bags, perfume bottles, and runways, you can trust that it'll never go out of style.
