Ivory is an English word name for the creamy white material of elephant tusks, from the Latin ebur, and is usually read as "creamy white" or "precious". It was used for both sexes in the early 20th century and has returned for girls as a color and material name in the style of Pearl and Scarlett. Ivory re-entered the US top 1000 for girls in 2013 and has climbed to number 378 in 2025, its best rank so far.
