What does Ivy mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: English

Ivy is a straightforward English nature name, taken from the climbing evergreen plant of the same name. Ivy has long been a symbol of fidelity and lasting attachment, since the plant clings and stays green through every season.

Ivy feels fresh, natural, and a little bit vintage all at once — an easy, pretty name with real staying power. It suits a loyal companion who's a steady, constant presence at your side.
