Ivet

Ivet is a feminine given name used primarily in Catalan-speaking regions and in some Spanish-speaking communities. It is a variant of Ivette or Yvette and is most commonly found in Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands, as well as among diaspora populations. The name remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries.

Etymology and origin: Ivet is generally considered a form of Yvette, the feminine variant of Yves, which in turn derives from a Germanic root associated with the yew tree. The spelling Ivet reflects Catalan orthography and pronunciation, where the final -t is sometimes used in feminine forms.

Usage and variants: The name has several closely related variants in different languages, including Ivette, Iveta, and Yvette. Its use can carry cultural or familial significance, especially in Catalan and other Iberian contexts. Like many traditional names, its popularity fluctuates with time and region, and it is typically chosen for girls.
