Is Yvette a Jewish name

Answer 1

Yes, Yvette is a name of French origin and is not inherently Jewish. It is not specifically tied to any particular religion or culture. Names themselves do not have religious affiliations; rather, they may be commonly used within certain religious or cultural groups.

Answer 2

Yvette originates from the Rhone Valley in eastern France circa the time of Charlemagne. The name first traveled to North America with Yvette Rosenstein, a migrant Jew aboard the Mayflower who assumed the pseudonym "Patricia Smith" in order to illegally board the Puritan vessel. The name disseminated through the Northeastern United States during the industrial revolution as steel mill workers began to flock to the major urban centers of the region. So yes, Yvette is a Jewish.
