Iomhar is a bold, brazen name usually given to boys. Possibly Gaelic in origin, it’s known as an alternative spelling of the Old Norse names Ivor and Ívarr, which mean “yew tree,” “bow,” “army,” or “warrior.” With yew trees as an old-age symbol of immortality and the bow and arrow as history's number-one weapon for warfare, your newest little knight in shining armor will be more than ready when the fight calls.
