Ibeeria

If you want to prepare baby for a life full of adventure and exploration, naming them Ibeeria could be a fantastic place to start! Perhaps the double -e in this feminine name will represent your little one’s enthusiasm for travel. Ibeeria is a respelling of Iberia, a Latin title that once described a region in southwestern Europe marked by a large peninsula, the Iberian peninsula. Today, the countries that occupy the peninsula are better known as Spain and Portugal, so baby can practice finding them on a map. Ibeeria means “from Iberia” or “from the Iberian peninsula,” making it a lovely way to honor your Spanish or Portuguese heritage. Ibeeria and Iberia derive from the Greek Iberes, the name given to the Celtic people who once lived in ancient Spain. The Ebro River, the longest river in Spain today, was once referred to as Ibēr in Greek, yet another link between little Ibeeria’s name and the region it comes from.
