Origin: German

Meaning: Yew; Archer

Yvo is a masculine name with origins in both French and Old German, meaning "yew" and "archer." Yvo is believed to have been formed from the French Yves and Ives—however, Yvo is also said to be a variant of the German name Ivo. The meaning comes from the yew tree and how the yew wood is used for bows and archery. Perhaps baby Yvo will be a handy craftsperson adept with dangerous weapons, or more likely, one at peace with nature, the Earth, and the trees that grow from it.
