Ivar is a Scandinavian name that means "archer" or "warrior with a bow" and evokes an image of precision and quiet strength. Although he sounds like an old Viking, today he is worn with a modern, casual elegance. In Argentina, there is no history of famous kings with this name, but it sounds like someone who may arrive late to the meeting but always has the last word. It is a name that practically begs for a beer and a good conversation.
The Ivars are quiet people on the outside, but inside they harbor a storm of ideas. They possess the rare ability to listen more than they speak, making them excellent confidants (and selected gossip pals). They are loyal to the core, but if you push them too far, they stare at you with that "just you wait" look, which is more frightening than a scream.

What science says. The effect of a first name on character is documented, and several scientific studies have looked into it. They do not show that a name contains a hidden personality, but that it captures attention, triggers social expectations and slightly changes the way others respond to us. Read our article what the psychology of first names is based on to find out more.
In love, Ivar is not the type for telenovela scenes. He prefers subtle romance: a shared coffee, a understanding glance, and knowing exactly what to order for the waiter. He is jealous, yes, but in that discreet way that makes you feel like his preferred person in the universe. He seeks a genuine connection, not a game of seduction; when he finds the right one, he stays forever.
