Juverna or Iuverna is a Latin name for Ireland, a less common variant of Hibernia; both derive from the earlier Iverna.{{cite web |title=Definition of Iverna, Juverna, Ierna |url=https://latinlexicon.org/definition.php?p1=2025518&p2=i |website=Numen, the Latin Lexicon |access-date=17 November 2019}} Juverna occurs in the works of Juvenal and Pomponius Mela, although James Watson in 1883 argued these refer to Scotland rather than Ireland.{{cite book |last1=Watson |first1=James |title=Notes on the Early History of Scotland |volume=I |date=1883 |publisher=J.
