History & Origin
Yvonnie is an elaboration of Yvonne, the French feminine of Yvon and so of Yves, from Germanic iv ('yew'). It appears in United States records from about 1932, with its small high in the mid-1930s when Yvonne itself was rising. It was never common in this form, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak.
A Yvonnie from that peak would be a great-grandmother now, and the name reads as a homespun variant of the chic Yvonne. The French spelling stayed the standard; Yvonnie survives as a warm, informal period form rather than a name in current use.
