Ivoory Origin and Meaning

The name Ivoory is a girl's name.

Ivoory is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a creative variant of Ivory. The traditional name Ivory derives from the English word for the valuable, cream-colored material obtained from elephant tusks, symbolizing purity, luxury, and rarity. The distinctive double 'o' spelling gives Ivoory a unique modern twist while maintaining the elegant sound of the original. This contemporary variation emerged as parents increasingly sought distinctive spellings for traditional names. Ivoory carries the same associations of preciousness and pristine beauty as Ivory but stands out with its unconventional orthography, appealing to those seeking a name that combines familiar sounds with unique presentation.
