Meaning and history
Evette is an English spelling variant of Yvette. Yvette is the French feminine form of Yves, ultimately derived from a Germanic element meaning “yew.” Yew wood was historically valued for making bows, which may explain the element’s place in Germanic personal names. Evette can also be influenced by Eve, but that connection should not be assumed for every bearer. Notable bearers include American writer and cultural critic Evette Dionne and American singer Evette Bushell.
