Meaning & origin
Aviyah is a rare modern Hebrew name that has seen modest use since 2009. In 2025 it ranked 4,987th for girls, with a frequency of 1 in 61,818 births. Its popularity peaked in 2021, and it has been rising since 2010. While not among the most common names, Aviyah fits a trend of melodic biblical-style names ending in 'yah.' Because it is not in the top 1,000, no state-level data are available, but its use is likely concentrated among families seeking a name with strong religious and cultural ties.
Aviyah is a feminine name derived from the Hebrew 'Aviyah,' combining 'avi' (my father) and 'Yah' (a shortened form of Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God). The name appears in the Hebrew Bible as a masculine figure (Abijah) but has become a modern feminine given name, particularly in Israel and among Jewish communities. It shares roots with other biblical names like Avigail and Avigayil.
