Ivah Origin and Meaning
Ivah is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive from Hebrew, potentially related to 'avah' meaning 'desire' or representing a place name mentioned in biblical texts. Alternatively, it could be a variant of Iva, which has Slavic roots meaning 'willow tree.' The name experienced modest popularity in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has since become quite rare. Ivah has a simple, elegant structure with its two syllables and soft ending, fitting well with contemporary interest in short, vowel-rich names. The name carries a vintage charm while remaining distinctive and uncommon. Its biblical connections might appeal to some families, while others might appreciate its nature-associated meanings and subtle historical presence.
