Meanings

As a name

Aviv is also a Hebrew male name. The old and rare[4] Russian Christian male given name "Ави́в" (Aviv) was possibly also borrowed from Biblical Hebrew, where it derived from the word abīb, meaning an ear or a time of year where grains come into ear,[5] also known as "Aviv" (or Nisan—the first month of the Hebrew calendar).[6] The feminine version of the name is Aviva.[4] The diminutives of "Aviv" are Aviva (Ави́ва) and Viva (Ви́ва).[4] The patronymics derived from "Aviv" are "Ави́вович" (Avivovich; masculine) and "Ави́вовна" (Avivovna; feminine).[4]
