Meaning & Origin
Aviva is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'spring,' 'fresh,' or 'joyful,' from the Hebrew root aviv (the season of spring, also the Hebrew word for the first month). The word captures the renewal and blossoming of spring — new beginnings and the return of light.
About 3,552 U.S. births are recorded, used primarily in Jewish and Israeli communities. Aviva is a palindrome — it reads the same forwards and backwards — adding a playful linguistic uniqueness to its beautiful seasonal meaning.
