Meaning & Story
A French feminine name derived from Yvonne, ultimately from the Germanic element iv meaning 'yew wood' or 'archer', associated with strength and natural beauty.
Yvette is a name with a long and elegant history — French in feel, Germanic in origin, and timelessly chic. It was fashionable in mid-20th century America and Europe and carries that classic, slightly retro charm that's due for a revival. For a refined female dog with graceful movement and an air of dignity, Yvette is a beautiful fit. The soft double-V sound in the middle gives it a uniquely luxurious texture, and it's the kind of name that sounds like it belongs on a silk cushion.
