Ivar Aasen, a Norwegian linguist.

From Old Norse Ívarr, from Proto-Norse *ᛁᚹᚨᚺᚨᚱᛃᚨᛉ (*iwaharjaʀ /⁠*īwaharjaʀ⁠/), from Proto-Germanic *īwaz (“yew tree, bow”) + *harjaz (“warrior, army”); also partly merged with Old Norse Yngvarr. Cognate with Faroese and Icelandic Ívar, Swedish Ivar, Danish Iver (Danicisation), and English Ivor.

IPA^(key): /²iːvar/, [²iː.ʋɐ̯r]
(some regions) IPA^(key): /²iːva/
- Note: Akin to the final r dropping in var (“was”) and hestar (“horses”) of some western dialects.
