Irven Origin and Meaning

The name Irven is a boy's name.

Irven is a masculine name with multiple potential origins. It may be a variant spelling of Irvin or Irving, Germanic names meaning 'green river' or 'sea friend.' Alternatively, it could derive from the Irish name Ervin, meaning 'handsome, fair' or 'friend of the sea.' The name has been used sporadically in English-speaking countries, particularly in the early to mid-20th century, but has always remained uncommon. Irven has a dignified, somewhat old-fashioned quality that connects to both Celtic and Germanic naming traditions. The name's relative obscurity may appeal to parents seeking something familiar in sound but distinctive in usage, with its strong consonants giving it a traditionally masculine feel.
