Yves 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).
