Meaning & origin

Ivi is a modern name of uncertain origin, likely a variant of Ivy or Iva. Its usage in the United States dates to 1993, making it a relatively recent addition to the naming landscape. While it has never cracked the top 10,000 names, it has seen a consistent rise since 2010, with its peak year being 2024. In 2025, it ranked 10,101 with 1 in 178,585 births. The name is rare, with no recorded concentration in any particular state. Its appeal likely lies in its simplicity and resemblance to the popular name Ivy, but with a slightly more distinctive spelling. Ivi remains a low-key choice for parents seeking a short, vowel-heavy name.

Ivi is a modern English name, likely a variant of Ivy, the plant name, or Iva, a name of Slavic origin meaning 'willow'. It may also be a diminutive form of longer names beginning with Iv-. Its usage as an independent given name emerged in English-speaking countries in the late 20th century, possibly as a trendy short form. The name remains rare but has seen gradual increase in use since the 1990s.
