Meaning & origin
Ivon is a rare, unisex name that entered U.S. records in 1912 but has never ranked in the top 1000. Its peak year was 1997, after which its usage began a steady decline continuing through 2025. The name is a variant of Yvonne, which itself derives from the French Yves meaning 'yew'. Ivon's trajectory shows a falling trend since 1998, and it has no recorded top states, reflecting its scarcity. As a modern, lightly-used alternative to Yvonne, Ivon offers a streamlined spelling for parents seeking a familiar yet distinctive sound.
Ivon is a spelling variant of Yvonne, the feminine form of Yves, which originates from the French word for 'yew' (as in the yew tree). The name Yvonne has been used in France since the Middle Ages and became popular in English-speaking countries in the 20th century. Ivon, though less common, represents a simplified or alternate spelling of this classic name.
