Origin:Norse
Other Origin(s):Greek
Meaning:To tear down
Riven is a sweet boy’s name that bursts with rustic flair. It sounds quite similar to the equally endearing River but actually comes from the Old Norse word rīfa and the Greek word ereipein, meaning “to tear down.” With its soft, feathery sound and almost old-fashioned feel, Riven is a charming selection that escapes the lips like a sweet country song. And while its meaning isn’t nearly as mellow as that of its sister name, your little Riven won’t be afraid to stand their ground when it’s time to do so!
