Its meaning is Yew or a type of tree. It is like being named apen or pine.

The Yew tree was common in Europe until recently; although it is still threatened, efforts at conservation have begun. The wood from a yew tree is very flexible and was the runaway choice for making bows and Archery gear in the middle ages. Many churches and symbolic places feature the yew tree as part of their landscaping. Yew trees can grow very large and some even have doors as the chapel at Fortingall Perthshire. The yew tree was know for its healing as well as poisionus properties and is associated with the myth of immortality. It has been estimated that some species live up to 9,000 years althought this is hard to confirm. More commonly, yew trees live to be approximately 2,000 years old. In such a superstitious time as the middle ages, naming a child LaVone would be auspious and confer the advantages associated with the namesake. The name is french germanic in origin around the time of the 14th century. It has not ranked in the top 1000 names in the United States for the last 129 years, and is considered "rare".
