Evonne

Meaning of Evonne

Evonne, pronounced ee-VON (/iˈvɒn/), is a feminine given name of French origin, a variant of Yvonne rooted in the Germanic element iv, meaning “yew.” Across U.S. birth records, Evonne has persisted in the top 1,000 since the early 20th century—though it has never claimed the heights of more fashionable monikers, it declines to fade away, ranking 943 with seven newborns in 2024. In Persian poetic tradition, the yew tree symbolizes resilience and renewal—qualities that echo the name’s understated endurance. Figures such as tennis champion Evonne Goolagong Cawley underscore its composed strength, making Evonne a choice that marries cultural depth with contemporary grace, much like the enduring patterns of a Persian carpet.
