Where it comes from
Origin, sound and short forms
Our story of Voncille
In German, von means of, and before a surname it long marked a noble family. When Germany became a republic, noble ranks were abolished, and von stopped being a title and became simply part of a family's name. Voncille has no tie to German nobility; its Von- more likely comes from Yvonne. But the syllable carries that old ring of grandeur, softened here by the gentle -cille of Lucille.
