Ivria is Hebrew in Origin.

Ivria is a modern Hebrew feminine name derived from Ivriyáh (עברייה), the feminine form of Ivri, “Hebrew.” It ultimately traces to the Semitic root ʿ-b-r (avar), “to cross, pass over,” evoking the ancient ethnonym used in the Tanakh for Abraham and his descendants - those who “crossed over” from beyond the river. The name also resonates with Ivrit, the Hebrew language, linking it to Jewish cultural and linguistic renewal.

As a given name, Ivria appears in modern Israeli usage from the 20th century onward, sometimes chosen to celebrate heritage and the revival of Hebrew; it remains rare in the Diaspora. Common transliterations include Ivriya, Ivriyah, and Ivriah; related forms are Ivri (m.) and, more distantly, Eber. Possible diminutives are Ivi or Ria. Meaning: “Hebrew woman; woman of the Hebrews,” with the extended sense of “one who has crossed over.”
