Jevona is English in Origin.

Jevona is a rare modern feminine given name, most visible in the United States from the late 20th century. Its formation likely follows two paths: as a feminized extension of Jevon with the -a ending, or as a J-initiated respelling aligned with Yvonne/Ivona. Jevon itself is a variant linked to Welsh Ieuan, a form of John from Hebrew Yohanan, meaning “Yahweh is gracious.” Yvonne/Ivona descend from a French/Germanic root for the yew tree, a symbol of endurance and archery.

Because of these intertwined influences, Jevona is commonly interpreted to mean “God is gracious,” while also echoing the nature imagery of the yew. Documented usage remains uncommon and largely American, especially within creative naming traditions. Variant spellings include Jevonna, Jevonne, and Javona; related names are Javonna, Yvona, Ivona, and, by association rather than derivation, Giovanna. Possible nicknames include Vona, Jae, and Nona.
