Evonne is French in Origin.
Evonne is an English respelling of Yvonne, the French feminine form of Yves, ultimately from the Old High German Ivo/iwaz “yew (tree).” Through medieval French, the name carried connotations of the yew’s durable wood and the archer, since yew was prized for longbows. Typical pronunciations are ee-VON or ih-VON in English.
The Evonne spelling emerged in the early-to-mid 20th century in Anglophone countries and saw a lift in the 1970s via Australian tennis great Evonne Goolagong Cawley. Usage today is uncommon, giving it a vintage, international feel. Variants include Yvonne, Ivonne (Spanish), and the related masculine forms Yves, Yvon, and Ivo; diminutives/nicknames include Vonnie, Yve/Yvie, and Eve/Evie. Meaning centers on “yew” and, by extension, resilience, longevity, and skilled archery imagery. Related forms such as Yvette and Ivette share the same root.
