Ivrit is Hebrew in Origin.

Ivrit is a modern Hebrew given name deriving from עברית, the standard Hebrew term for the Hebrew language and the feminine adjective “Hebrew.” It stems from the Semitic root ‘-b-r (“to cross, pass over”), the source of Ivri (“Hebrew”), the ethnonym associated in the Bible with Avraham ha‑Ivri, “Abraham the Hebrew.” As a name, Ivrit thus carries the sense of “Hebrew; the Hebrew language,” evoking linguistic and cultural identity.

In personal naming, Ivrit is rare but intelligible in Israel, appearing from the 20th century onward alongside the revival of Hebrew; it is most often given to girls, echoing the -it feminine ending, though it can be used unisex. Variants and related forms include Ivri (masculine), Ivry (alternate spelling), and the feminine Ivriya/Ivryah; related names from the same root include Eber/Ever. Nicknames such as Ivi or Ivy occur. English spellings vary: Ivrit, Ivryt, or Ivreet.
