History & Origin

Evonna is a respelling of Yvonne, the French feminine of Yves, whose root is the Germanic element iv-, 'yew'. Yew was the wood of bows and, in older European tradition, a tree of long life planted in churchyards. Yvonne travelled widely in the twentieth century; Evonna is one of its softer English-looking spellings (said 'ee-VON-uh').

It is very rare in the U.S., well behind Yvonne. Vintage, gentle, and warm.

Did you know? Yvonne — and so Evonna — goes back to a Germanic word for the yew tree, the wood that made the medieval longbow. A gentle name with a very sturdy root (said 'ee-VON-uh').
