My name is totally croatian so I have only some weird information about it. At least what I found. And I'm translating on my own, so bear with me.

Iva - the name came from Greek and Latin versions, and originally in Hebrew Johanan (Jehohanan), composed of Jahveh (God) and Hanan (merciful); basically means "God is gracious."

In croatian culture name Iva originates from the name of a species of a willow tree, so called weeping willows, also known as Iva willow.

Iva is a very popular name among the first hundred female names in Croatia, where today there are more than 10,000 Iva namesakes.

 

And thank you Barb, it never actually crossed my mind to search for origins and interesting facts of my name. I only knew about willow Iva
