History and Origin
Yves (French pronunciation: [iv]) is a common French male given name that is derived from the Indo-European root "iwa" which gave "uvos" in Gaulish (it is found also in the Welsh "ywen", Irish "ēo" and in Old English īw, all of these meaning yew). Related names include Erwan, Evette, Ives, Ivet, Iveta, Ivette, Ivo, Iwo, Yve, Yvette (the feminine form of Yves), Yvo, Yvon, Yvonne, and many other diminutives (mainly from Brittany).
French: from a Germanic personal name representing a short form of various compound names containing the element iv- ‘yew’ (cf. Old Norse ýr, as in Ivor). The final -s is the mark of the Old French nominative case. The name was introduced to Britain from France at the time of the Norman Conquest, and again in the 20th century.
Cognates: German: Ivo. Polish: Iwo.
