Last Name IVISON

Summary/Contribute


Meaning The son of Ivo or Ive. Probably connected with Ives, the saint who gave the title to St. Ives in county Huntington (who, legend says, was a Persian bishop, and set up a hermitage on that spot), and Iva, similarly commemorated at St. Ives in county Cornwall. The great Ivo de Taillebois reminds us of Brittany; and St. Ivo de Chartres, imprisoned for his opposition to the adultery of Philip I, gave a natural impetus to the popularity of the name.
