Meaning & origin
Yevonne is a variant of Yvonne, a French feminine name that saw its highest usage in the mid-20th century. According to U.S. Social Security data, Yevonne peaked in 1949, ranking among the top names of that era, though it has since fallen out of common use. The name has been recorded as early as 1921, but its trajectory shows a stable decline, with no births reported in recent decades. While it lacks strong regional ties in the U.S., its French origins give it a classic European appeal. Parents choosing Yevonne today may appreciate its vintage charm and connection to the yew tree, a symbol of longevity and strength.
Yevonne is a variant of Yvonne, the feminine form of Yvon, itself a French diminutive of Yves. Yves derives from the Germanic element 'iv' meaning 'yew', as in the yew tree. The name was introduced to England after the Norman Conquest and has been used in French-speaking regions since the Middle Ages.
