Eivor

Eivor, Eivør or Øyvor is a female given name in the Nordic countries. In Sweden, 4,922 people bear the name. The average age is 78.

The name perhaps originated from either the Proto-Norse word auja, which is thought to mean "good luck", or from Old Norse ey- or øy-, meaning "island", and secondly from -varr, meaning "careful", or perhaps from the Proto-Norse word *warjaʀ, meaning "defender". The Old Norse form of the name was Eyvǫr or Øyvǫr.
