Name Of The Day : Iverson

Iverson is a Old Norse surname meaning “Son of Iver”. Iverson fits in with today’s botanical Ivy, warrior Archer and attractive Anderson.

Athletic surnames inspire us often when it comes to naming our kids. Just look at James, Jordan, and the late, great Bryant. NBA All-Star, Allen Iverson may have had an impact on parents too. Iverson entered the game in 1996, playing for six different teams, before retiring in 2011. In 2016, Iverson was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

I can’t help but wonder if Taylor Swifts’ newest duets Exile and Evermore with Bon Iver (stage name of Justin Vernon) helped boost this Iver- name.

Given only to 77 boys in 2019, Iverson is still an extremely rare choice. Yet, that hasn’t stopped this name from becoming the talk of the town in recent months. Do you see Iverson increasing popularity?
