Ihr is closer to our "you all" or "y'all." You can consider du and Ihr analogs of the Old English words, thou and ye, which we used for the informal you, and for both the singular formal and plural you, respectively. We have since replaced all forms of the 2nd person nominative (when it is the subject of the sentence) personal pronouns with just "you."
