Ivon

Ivon is a feminine name that serves as a variant of Yvonne, with both deriving from the masculine name Ivo or Yves, meaning 'yew wood' or 'archer' in Germanic origins. While Yvonne has been more widely used internationally, Ivon represents a streamlined, somewhat less frilly alternative with the same historical roots. The name reached modest popularity in the mid-20th century but has become less common in recent decades. Ivon carries a certain vintage charm while maintaining a straightforward, unfussy quality that may appeal to modern parents seeking something simultaneously distinctive and approachable. In some Slavic countries, it can also be found as a masculine name, though internationally it's more commonly recognized as feminine.

Ivon is also given to boys.

Pronounced EE-vahn.
