Iversen

Iversen () is a Danish-Norwegian patronymic surname meaning "son of ''Iver''", from the Old Norse personal name ''Ívarr''. The Old Norse personal name is composed of the two elements: either ''ív'' meaning "yew tree", "bow" or ''Ing'' (an old Germanic God); and the element ''ar'' meaning "warrior" or "spear". Scandinavian immigrants to English-speaking countries often changed the spelling to Iverson in order to accommodate English orthographic rules. Provided by Wikipedia
