Origin:Norse
Meaning:Archer; Bow army
Yvor is a masculine name of Norse origin. Composed of yr meaning “yew” or “bow,” and herr meaning “warrior” or “army,” it reads as “archer” or “bow army.” Since the wood of the yew tree was used to make bows, the chances of Yvor or Ivor being an occupational name are high. One of the moniker’s more famous bearers is Yvor Winters, a widely respected American poet and critic. Whether or not you’d like your little one to make a mark as a writer, this name can certainly encourage your little one to always have an aim in life.
