Yveline

Yveline is a French feminine name that developed as an elaborated form of Yveline's base element, the Germanic root iv, meaning yew tree, which also underlies the widely used names Yves and Yvonne. The yew, prized for its hardwood and remarkable longevity, was a common source of personal names in Germanic and later Romance naming traditions. Yveline remains a characteristically French form, closely related to Yvette and Yvonne, and is also associated with the Yvelines, a department in the Île-de-France region west of Paris.
