Avianna is a modern American elaboration of Ava, a name usually traced to the Latin avis, "bird", or to the Germanic Ava, which is linked to Eve and "life". The Latin ending -anna adds a lyrical flourish, and the spelling with one n, Aviana, is used almost as often. Avianna was rare in 2000, entered the top 1000 in 2011, peaked at number 354 in 2021 and ranks number 595 in 2025.
