Life, bird, or water
The exact etymology of Ava is debated. It likely stems from the Germanic element 'aval' meaning 'guarantee' or 'bird', but it is also frequently associated with the Hebrew name Eve, meaning 'life'. In some contexts, it is linked to the Latin 'avis' for 'bird' or a Persian root meaning 'voice' or 'sound'.
