Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Ivar je novšia podoba staroseverského mena Ívarr. Najčastejšie sa vykladá z pragermánskych zložiek *īwa- „tis, luk z tisového dreva“ a *harjaz „vojsko, bojovník“, teda približne „bojovník s tisovým lukom“. V odbornej literatúre sa však Ívarr vysvetľuje aj ako variant mien Ingvarr alebo Jóarr, preto jeho presná etymológia nie je úplne istá.
