What is the meaning of the name Evo ?

The baby name Evo is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EH-vo.

Evo is Germanic, Latin in Origin.

Evo is most securely explained as a variant spelling of Ivo, a medieval name of Germanic origin. Its root is the Old High German noun īwa, from Proto-Germanic *īwaz or *īhwaz, the yew tree; the personal name appears in early medieval Latin records as Ivo and Yvo. The final -o reflects the Latinized masculine form often used for Germanic short names, so the literal sense is simply yew.

Ivo was carried in medieval France, the Low Countries, and German-speaking areas, with French Yves and English Ives developing from the same name. Evo is much rarer and may also function in modern use as a clipped form of names beginning Ev-, though those links have separate etymologies. Public recognition chiefly comes from Bolivian politician Evo Morales. In United States birth data it has remained uncommon, with small male registrations in the twentieth century and only occasional later use.
