Ivo 1

Germanic name, originally a short form of names beginning with the element iwa meaning "yew" [2] . Alternative theories suggest that it may in fact be derived from a cognate Celtic element [3] . This was the name of saints (who are also commonly known as Saint Yves or Ives), hailing from Cornwall, France, and Brittany.
