Where this word comes from

From Old Irish eiden(n) m (“ivy”), from Proto-Celtic *edennos. The /vʲ/ in Connacht may be due to English influence, compare Middle English iven, yven, ivyn (alternative forms of ivi) as well as Manx hibbin. On the other hand, the pronunciation of slender dh between vowels is found also in Connacht /ˈɡivʲə/ for guidhe (modern spelling guí.
