Yvo

Yvo is a Dutch masculine name derived from the Germanic element *iwa*, meaning yew tree, a wood long prized for its use in bows and associated with endurance and resilience. It is a variant form of Ivo, which spread across medieval Europe through Breton and Norman influence, carried notably by Saint Ivo of Kermartin, the patron saint of lawyers. Related forms include Ives, Yves, and Iva.
