Yvaine is a girl’s name of possible English or Welsh origin. While this moniker’s roots hold a touch of mystery, it shimmers with starlit magic. Yvaine is a perfect choice if you adore fairytales and myths, as it is believed to be the feminine form of Yvain, a name that has close links to Arthurian Romance. With possible meanings including “well-born” and “born of the good,” Yvaine and Yvain could represent baby’s integrity and kind-heartedness. Some sources consider Yvaine a combination of the names Yvonne and Elaine, meaning “yew” or “torch.” You’ll also find Yvaine in the pages of Neil Gaiman's novella Stardust, in which it is the title given to a fallen star. While some have suggested that Yvaine can also mean “evening star,” there isn’t a clear path toward this interpretation. For little Yvaine, life promises plenty of adventure and opportunities to shine bright.
