Ivonne

Ivonne is a continental European form of Yvonne, itself derived from the Old French and Germanic element iv, meaning yew, referring to the yew tree or the wood used to make bows. The name spread through medieval France and was carried into broader European use, becoming particularly common in German- and Dutch-speaking regions in the forms Ivonne and Yvonne. Related forms include Ivette, Yvette, and the masculine source name Yves.
