Eivor Origin and Meaning

The name Eivor is a girl's name meaning "careful island; island defender; good luck".

An old-lady name in Scandinavia today, but Eivor may get a fresh start in the US, where it is associated with Assassain's Creed character Eivor Varinsdottir. Interestingly, the video game inspired several sets of parents to use the name for their sons in 2021 — the first year Eivor was ever recorded — but it has never made the charts for girls.

Another modern association is Eivør Pálsdóttir, a Faroese pop singer known mononymously as Eivør.
