History & Origin
Avonne is best read as a coined name shaped by Yvonne, the French feminine of Yves, which reaches back to a Germanic root meaning yew. The polished -onne ending was fashionable for girls in the early nineteen-hundreds, and Avonne rode that taste. A faint echo of the English river Avon may also have appealed to some parents.
Avonne was always scarce, given to only about twenty girls a year at its mid-nineteen-twenties peak and gone from the record by the late nineteen-sixties. A girl named Avonne then would be past a hundred today.
