イヴォンヌ is the Japanese way to write the female given name Yvonne.
Meaning: female given name (name)
Did you know?
- The character ヴォ used in イヴォンヌ is a modern addition to the language to better mimic the 'v' sound, which historically didn't exist in Japanese.
- While イヴォンヌ is the phonetic translation, a Japanese person might choose 当て字 to give the name meaningful kanji characters based on their sounds.
- Because Japanese is syllable-based, the name イヴォンヌ adds a vowel sound to the final 'n', making it sound like 'i-vo-n-nu' to a native speaker.

- イヴォンヌさんはとても親切です。Ivonnu-san wa totemo shinsetsu desu.Yvonne is very kind.
- 友達のイヴォンヌに手紙を書きました。Tomodachi no Ivonnu ni tegami o kakimashita.I wrote a letter to my friend Yvonne.
