    Ivor

    Pronounced EYE-vor

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Ivor does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Yew warrior; Bow warrior; Archer", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Ivor.

    Ivor is the bow warrior — and children are arrows in a mighty man's hand. 'As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them.' Ivor is aimed and released by the Almighty.

    Spiritual meaning

    Ivor is a polished shaft in God's quiver — hidden in His hand, aimed with purpose, the bow warrior released at the appointed moment.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
