Desired or bird-like; combination of Avis and Lynn.
Avilyn is a modern English blend, likely combining the Latin-rooted Avis, meaning 'bird,' with the popular suffix -lyn, meaning 'lake' or 'waterfall.' It may also be interpreted as a variant of Evelyn, which stems from the Germanic name Avelina, meaning 'desired.'
