Eivor


Eivor, Eivør or Øyvor is a female given name in the Nordic countries.
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. The name is most widespread in Norway.
