רב ייבא Rav Yeva
Amora of Babylonia · 2nd generation (c. 250–290 CE) — named 15 times across 10 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Yeva, of the second Babylonian generation, is called the elder — Rav Yeva Sava — and the Bavli writes him both ways.
Of the fifteen occurrences of the name, nine are the name standing inside another sage's patronymic rather than this sage speaking, leaving six where he is the one cited, across ten tractates with Bava Batra the heaviest. The entry is marked for review, and the corpus is most of what can be said about him.
The elder.
