S. [N.] Ivann f. “Fruit-giver”
Sindarin name of Yavanna.
Conceptual Development: In the Gnomish Lexicon from the 1910s, this name appeared as G. Ivon or Ifon (GL/18), and appeared as Ifan in the very early Silmarillion drafts from the late 1920s (SM/12). It appeared as N. Ivann in The Etymologies from the 1930s (Ety/YAB). It is not directly attested in Tolkien’s later writings, but appears as an element in the names Ivanneth “September, *Yavanna-ness” (LotR/1110) and Ivonwin “Maidens of Yavanna” (PM/404).
