Ivemey is used as a family name or surname in England. It is 6 characters long in length.
Ivemey is the form of the Ivimey. See under Ivy - May be the same as Ive, or a derivative of it; but there was a favourite character in the old Christmas games called Ivy, whose antagonist was Holly; and the frolics of the Holly-Boy and the Ivy-Girl were maintained in Kent (but on St. Valentine's day) till towards the close of the eighteenth century Gent. Mag. 1779. See the song of the "Holly and Ivy" quoted in Hone's Mysteries, where Ivy is made to be of the feminine gender:
"Holy and his mery men, they dawnsyn and they syng;
Ivyand hur maydyns, they wepen and they wryng."
The singular name Ivymey, Ivimey, signifying ivy-maiden, Historian Ferguson thinks may be from this source.
The only difficulty is to account for such designations having become transmissible. Ivyleaf may also belong to this class.
