Yevette is a distinctive and elegant French given name, derived from the Latin 'Evette', which is a feminine form of Evodus. It is composed of the elements 'Evo-', meaning "to live", and '-ette', a suffix indicating femininity. This name gained popularity in France during the 19th century and has since been adopted by other Francophone countries. The name Yevette embodies a certain charm and sophistication, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a unique yet meaningful name for their daughter. It is also worth noting that this name is sometimes spelled 'Yvette', with one 't', which can be considered its alternative spelling or variation.
"Yevette's popularity as a baby girl name peaked between the mid-1960s to early 1970s, with 41 births in 1963 and 72 births in 1968 being the highest recorded. However, by the late 1970s to early 1980s, its usage significantly declined, with only single-digit births per year."
