Greed or covetousness; also a variant of Avery
In Sanskrit, the name is associated with the concept of greed or desire. However, in a modern American context, it is more frequently used as a creative respelling of Avery, which means 'ruler of the elves'. It has gained some traction as a unique, vowel-heavy choice for parents seeking a rare alternative to popular names like Ava or Aria.
