Likely a blend of Ava and Savannah
Avannah is a modern American creation, likely formed by combining the popular name Ava with the rhythmic ending of Savannah. While it lacks a singular ancient etymology, it draws on the meanings of its components: 'life' or 'bird' from Ava, and 'treeless plain' from Savannah.
