Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Germanic *īwaz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁eyHw-, a suffixed form of the base *h₁eyH- (reddish, colourful).

Cognate with Old High German īwa (German Eibe), Middle Low German īwe, Dutch ijf, Old Norse ýr (bow, yew). The Indo-European root is perhaps also the source of Old Irish ibar (Irish iúr), Proto-Balto-Slavic *eiwas (Lithuanian ievà), Proto-Slavic *jьva (Russian и́ва (íva, willow)), Latin ūva (bunch of grapes)).

The West Germanic languages have a variant *īhwaz with a guttural consonant, represented by Old English ēoh.
