Ivo

    • 1970, John Wain, A Winter in the Hills, Viking Press, page 45:
      It was so farcically alien to be called 'Roger' and 'Furnivall' in a place where everybody had names like Ivo and Gito and Madog.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Used in medieval England, but rarer as a given name today. Modern American bearers of this name may be of Slavic origin. Also still used to translate the names of pre-modern figures named Yves.
