[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


"Diminutive of Ive" (but Ive, other than a surname, is given as a diminutive of the name Ivy, which would make it circular). Equinox 21:20, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

It wouldn't surprise me, given how many other surnames get diminutized this way (Smithy, Jonesy...it seems like a productive process), but I don't know how to find it, as search results are swamped by the reverse (people using Ive and Ives as nicknames for Ivy). - -sche (discuss) 21:53, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
