Meaning & origin
Evonne is a rare feminine name with French origins, a variant spelling of Yvonne. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1911 and peaked in popularity in 1936, though it never entered widespread use (rank 9,457 in 2025, or roughly 1 in 160,727 girls). Its trajectory has been falling since 1985, making it a vintage choice more common in past decades. The name's connection to 'yew' gives it a botanical undertone, and the letter E spelling sets it apart from the more common Yvonne.
Evonne is a variant spelling of Yvonne, the feminine form of Yves, from the French word 'if' meaning 'yew'. It has been used in English-speaking countries since the late 19th century. The spelling with E may have been influenced by names like Evelyn.
