IRVING

From a Escocés surname which was in turn derived from a Escocés place name meaning green water. Historically this name has been relatively common among Jews, who have used it as an American-sounding forma de Hebreo names beginning with I such as Isaac, Israel and Isaiah. A famous bearer was the Ruso-American songwriter and lyricist Irving Berlin (1888-1989), whose birth name was Israel Beilin.
