Yvo

Yvo is a Germanic name derived from the element iv, meaning yew tree, a wood prized in medieval times for crafting bows and associated with endurance and longevity. It was borne by several medieval saints and nobles across France and the Low Countries, helping establish it as a respectable clerical and aristocratic name. Yvo is the Latin and learned form of the name, closely related to the Old French Ivo and the anglicized Ives, as well as the feminine forms Iva and Yva.
