Iver is a name of Norse origin, derived from the Old Norse word 'Yngvi', which means 'archer'. This name was traditionally borne by the legendary kings of Sweden and is therefore associated with royal lineage in Scandinavian history.
The name Iver experienced a notable peak in popularity between the years 1912 to 1927 with the highest number of births recorded in 1920 (10 births). However, it appears that this name has since become less common as there were only 5 births each in both 2022 and 2023.
