Does anyone know which way this name is pronounced? I think it is 'ee-vo' as in the French Yves but could it also be pronounced 'eye-vo' as in Ivy? Thanks
In the UK...Ivo is usually pronounced eye-vo.It's not uncommon amongst the middle classes.It's a form of Ives; Ivo and Ivon are from the medieval French declensions of the name. Compare Hugues, Hugo, Huon; Miles, Milo, Milon etc.
Hi Meraud,It is a German name, and in Germany it is pronounced EE-vo.Ivo can also be a Serbian short form of Ivano (form of Johannes), and in Serbian it is pronounced EE-vo as well.Regards, Satu
