Meaning & origin
Aviya is a name of Hebrew origin meaning 'God is my father,' though some also connect it to the Hebrew word for spring. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1996 and has since shown a small but notable presence. In 2025, it ranked 6,325th with approximately 1 in 89,293 girls receiving the name. Its peak year was 2023, though it has been on a downward trajectory since 2022. Aviya has no strong association with any particular U.S. state. The name appeals to families seeking a spiritual yet modern-sounding Hebrew name with ties to biblical history.
Aviya is a Hebrew name meaning 'God is my father' or 'my father is Yahweh,' from the elements avi (father) and yah (a shortened form of Yahweh). In the Hebrew Bible, Abijah (a variant) appears as a man's name borne by several figures, including a king of Judah. In modern Israel, Aviya is used for both boys and girls, though it has become more common for girls in the United States since the 1990s.
