The name perhaps originated from either the Proto-Norse word auja, which is thought to mean "good luck",[1] or from Old Norse ey- or øy- , meaning "island", and secondly from -varr, meaning "careful", or perhaps from the Proto-Norse word *warjaʀ, meaning "defender".[2]
The Old Norse form of the name was Eyvǫr or Øyvǫr. The name is most widespread in Norway.
