Ivo
[ˈiːvoʊ]Meaning
germanic name from the element iwa, meaning "yew"
Background Story
Ivo is a masculine given name used in various European languages, originating in western Europe as a Germanic name. It began as a short form of names containing the element iwa, meaning "yew", though one alternative theory derives it from a cognate Celtic element. It was borne by saints from Cornwall, France and Brittany, who are also commonly called Saint Yves or Ives, and it is cognate with the modern French Yves. In Albanian, Amharic, Arabic and other languages, Ivo is a diminutive of Ivan.
