Ives Name Details

The name Ives originates from the Germanic name 'Ivo', meaning 'yew wood' or 'archer'. It has been derived from the Old German word 'Ä«w', which signifies 'yew tree'. In medieval times, the yew tree was highly valued for its use in making longbows, and as a result, the name Ives came to symbolize an archer. The name gained popularity in England during the Norman Conquest and was later introduced to other English-speaking countries. Ives is a unique and strong name choice for a boy.
