Iveria is Georgian in Origin.

Iveria is a Georgian poetic toponym turned given name, taken from the Georgian form of Iberia (ივერია), the Greco-Roman name for the ancient kingdom of Kartli in eastern Georgia. As a personal name it conveys “of Iberia/Georgia,” signaling Georgian heritage and pride rather than a lexical meaning. Some modern bearers also treat it as a feminine elaboration of Iver/Ivar, linking it secondarily to the Old Norse Ívarr (“yew, bow + warrior”), though this is a creative reinterpretation.

Use as a given name is rare but growing in Georgia and the diaspora from the late 20th century onward, encouraged by cultural revival and patriotic literature (e.g., Ilia Chavchavadze’s journal Iveria). Variants and related forms include Iberia, Iveriya (transliterated), and the Georgian masculine Iveri; cognates Iver, Ivar, and Ivari sit nearby. Possible nicknames: Ivy, Vera, Ria.
