Origin and meaning of Ivy
Ivy comes from the Old English īfig and names the ivy, the evergreen climbing plant that tradition links to fidelity, eternal bonds and lasting friendship. Like many flower and plant names, it took hold in the Victorian era and today enjoys a fresh wave of popularity in the English-speaking world, prized for its crystalline brevity and gentle sound. Beyond English-speaking countries it stays rare, yet keeps a natural, elegant charm.
