Transgression or sin; to cross over
In Hebrew, Avera (transgression) is derived from the root 'avar', meaning to pass over or cross. While it has a complex theological connotation in Jewish tradition, it is occasionally used as a modern phonetic variation of names like Avery or Adira. Its rarity in the US makes it a distinctive choice with a strong, rhythmic sound.
