Meaning & origin
Ivett is a Hungarian variant of Yvette, with roots in the Germanic yew tree and the tradition of archery. First recorded in the U.S. in 1966, it reached its peak rank in 2001. After a period of decline, the name has been rising in use since 2020, reflecting a renewed interest in Hungarian and French-inflected names. With a 2025 rank of 13,208 and a frequency of about 1 in 267,878 births, Ivett remains a rare but distinctive choice.
Ivett is a Hungarian form of Yvette, itself a French feminine diminutive of Yves. Yves derives from the Old High German name Ivo, which is related to the Germanic word for 'yew' (as in the yew tree, whose wood was used to make bows). Thus the name carries the connotation of an archer. The name has been used in Hungary since the mid-20th century.
