Origin: Polish

Meaning: Yew

Blissful Iwona is a feminine Polish name derived from French Yvonne. This romantic appellation borrows the meaning “yew,” ultimately stemming from Germanic Ivo. When searching for a tree-inspired name for your little sapling, Iwona offers just that and more when considering the yew tree’s symbolism. In ancient European, Celtic, and Egyptian cultures, the yew tree represented life, death, immortality, resurrection, and mourning. As baby Iwona grows and blossoms, perhaps they will view the transcience of life not as a means to an end but as an ever-flowing cycle rich in adventure.
