Desired; bird; beautiful breath of life
Avaleen is a modern elaboration of Aveline or Ava. It likely stems from the Germanic name Avila, meaning 'desired', or the Latin 'avis' meaning 'bird'. In some contexts, it is viewed as a combination of Ava and the suffix -leen, giving it a rhythmic, lyrical quality.
