Evette is a girl’s name that evokes both the Old World and the New. A variant of the French Yvette, meaning “yew,” Evette is also a rather unusual Americanization of the name Eve. Since in the Abrahamic religions Eve was the first woman and the mother of all people, Evette means “living one.” It is a great choice for your firstborn daughter and will give baby Evette an air of European sophistication.
