Lavonne is a unique and elegant given name of American origin. It was created by the American poet and author Vachel Lindsay in his collection of poems titled "The Tree of Honey" published in 1917. The name Lavonne is derived from the French word "lavande" which means lavender, a fragrant herb widely known for its beautiful purple flowers.
In the poem "Lavonne" by Vachel Lindsay, the character Lavonne is described as a beautiful and graceful young woman who embodies the spirit of nature and the essence of lavender. The name has since been used occasionally in the United States but remains quite rare.
There is no specific meaning or symbolism associated with the name Lavonne beyond its derivation from the word lavender. However, it could be interpreted to represent beauty, grace, elegance, and a connection to nature. Despite its rarity, Lavonne is a charming and distinctive name that continues to captivate those who discover it.
The name Lavonne experienced significant popularity from the early 1900s to the mid-1930s, peaking in 1926 with 322 births. However, its usage has declined dramatically since then, with fewer than 50 births per year from the late 1940s onwards. In recent years (2000-2019), there have been only a total of 47 births recorded for this name.
