Evonna
A girl's name of Hebrew origin with 367 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. girl's names, Evonna currently holds position #15999. It is known but far from saturated — a name that registers without repeating.
With records stretching from 1939 to 2024, Evonna has over 85 years of American history behind it — long enough to have been worn by great-grandparents and potentially rediscovered by today’s parents.
In the most recent SSA release, Evonna ranks #15999 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Evonna is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant of Yvonne, from the Old French feminine of Yves, ultimately from the Germanic "iv" (yew tree). The yew is one of the longest-lived trees in the world, with some specimens over 3,000 years old — a symbol of endurance and regeneration.
Evonna carries the yew's extraordinary longevity — a name connected to a tree that outlives civilizations, that regenerates from its own fallen branches, that knows something about endurance that nothing else does.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Evonna is rooted in the Hebrew tradition, but its presence in American naming since 1939 means it has been shaped by English phonetics, local customs, and the cultural context of the families who chose it.
Evonna’s rarity (367 recorded births) may indicate it is strongly tied to a specific cultural community or family tradition, rather than part of the broader American naming mainstream.
