==Etymology==
Iviron, known between 1999 and 2004 as Ivira, has a name of unclear provenance. The most common theory derives the term from the Iviran people, etymology of which being connected to the term ''עָבַר'' (Iviran for ''to cross'', possibly in reference to the Iviran people having crossed the Quirran river when settling the Iviran Coast region). This theory is disputed however, the Sur term Ivirya being significantly older than the Iviran term, which according to various historical sources is derived from the name of the region itself.
Another theory, proposed by the Antharian historian Stephen Waschke, is that the term stems from the old [Armenian] language, where ''վիրք'' (virkʿ) collectively denoted peoples settling regions east of the areas settled by [Armenians]. Other theories involve etymologies from the Mardoumakh language.
The term Ivirya was first mentioned in 712 CE, when the principalities of Dukash ([[Archis]]) and Toridava ([[Sens]]) united to the Ivirya Principality, with capital in Dukash. During the Garlian conquest of the Ivirya region, the term was extended to the Iviran Sea (ga. ''Marea Iviriae'').
In the Middle Ages, the term was used more in relation to the Iviran culture, the term of the historical region being replaced by ''Romany'' and later ''Antharia''. After the 1999 independence of the Republic of Ivira, the state's name was changed to ''Iviron'' in 2004, after a name dispute with Antharia - the term ''Ivira'' historically referring to territories in both Iviron and Antharia. The term ''Iviron'' means ''from Ivira'' or ''of Iviran descent'' (in reference to the region) in old Antharian.
