ArchivesIf you are from France
in reply to a message by Lucas_Ivars
your family name probably is not from Scandinavian origin, but from Catalan origin.
The Catalan surname Ivars (or Ibars, there are two spellings) come from the place names Ivars d'Urgell and Ivars de Noguera, which come from the Basque root ibar, "valley".
In France, as family name it has some spelling variants (Yvars, Ivars, Ibars, Ibarz, Ybars). (http://jeantosti.com/noms/y.htm)
