Iva

Iva is a short and sweet name, primarily found in English and Slavic origins, meaning 'yew tree', a symbol often associated with endurance and rebirth. Though it might seem vintage, Iva is making a quiet comeback as parents look for names that are both traditional and fresh. Historically, Iva has had a presence in literature and film, but without overwhelming association to any particular figure, providing a blank slate for any little girl. Simple and elegant, Iva can stand alone beautifully or serve as a nickname for names like Ivana or Ivette.
