History & Origin

Iversyn is a modern respelling in the Iverson family. Iverson is a Scandinavian surname meaning 'son of Iver,' and Iver traces to an Old Norse personal name generally explained from elements meaning 'yew' and 'warrior' - a bow-warrior, the yew being bow wood. Swapping -son for -syn is a recent American habit that softens a surname into a girls' name, and the exact route here is uncertain, which we note (said 'EYE-ver-sin').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, surname-style, and modern.

Did you know? Behind Iverson stands the old Norse name Iver, usually read from words for 'yew' and 'warrior' - the yew being the wood a bow was made from.
