Yvetta is a feminine given name of Slavic origin, particularly common among those of Czech and Slovak descent. It is derived from the Slavic element "iv" meaning "youth," with the suffix "-etta" added to form a diminutive. Therefore, Yvetta roughly translates to "little youth" or "young one." The name gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has since become less common. It is often associated with Eastern European cultures and may be considered somewhat exotic or unique in other parts of the world.
The name Yvetta saw significant variation in popularity over the century, with peaks in the mid-1950s and early 1960s, and valleys in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The most popular years were 1954 to 1966, with a total of 237 births during this period. However, after 1973, the name's popularity seemed to dwindle, with no more than 14 births in any given year until it reached its lowest point in 1980 with only 5 births. Overall, Yvetta was given to 480 newborns over these years.
