History & Origin

Eyvette shadowed the more familiar Yvette. It appears in United States records from the mid nineteen-fifties and touched its quiet high near nineteen-sixty-three.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, thinning out by the early two-thousands. A girl named Eyvette at that peak would be in her early sixties today. The Ey- spelling reads as a phonetic variant rather than a separate name.

Did you know? Yves and Yvette trace to the yew, the tough wood that armed medieval archers; Eyvette keeps that root but opens with Ey- to spell out the sound, a common American touch on French names.
