Ibon Name History & Origins
Ibon is a Basque adaptation of the French masculine name Yvon. Yvon belongs to a family of names descended from the Germanic Ivo; in medieval France, Yves and Yvon were established forms, and the feminine Yvonne developed alongside them. The Basque form changes the medial v of Yvon to b, a regular feature of Basque adaptation of Romance names. The feminine Basque Ibone matches Yvonne. The name is distinct from the Basque word ibon, a mountain pool or tarn, which is a landscape term rather than the source of the personal name.
