Meaning & origin
Ivry is a rare and modern-sounding name that likely emerged as a variant of Ivory or as a place-name adaptation. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1919, but has remained uncommon, with its highest usage in 2022. As of 2025, it ranks 6,546 and occurs in approximately 1 in 94,545 births. The name has been rising in popularity since 2010, particularly in California. Its appeal may lie in its soft, two-syllable sound and its resemblance to more familiar names like Ivy or Ivory. Parents drawn to unique, nature-evoking names with a contemporary feel may find Ivry an intriguing choice.
Ivry likely emerged as a modern coinage, possibly inspired by the word 'ivory' or as a variant of the name Ivory, which itself derives from the English word for the precious material. It may also be influenced by the French place name Ivry-sur-Seine. The name has seen rare but increasing use in the United States since the early 20th century.
