History & Origin
Yvonda is an elaboration of the fashionable Yvonne. It appeared from the mid nineteen-thirties, reached a modest high in 1967, and stayed a minority variant throughout.
The name was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, and had faded by the mid nineteen-eighties. A woman named Yvonda at that peak would be in her late fifties today, her name a decorative twist on Yvonne.
