Aviv is a Hebrew boy's name that means "springtime, freshness, youth." Tel Aviv is highly identified with the city. Avi - the Hebrew form of Andrew - is the most common Jewish first name. Springtime and freshness are qualities associated with life. Youth refers to being young rather than old. Therefore, this name may mean "life" or "that which keeps life alive." It is believed that this name was given to a Jew who lived in one of the cities named Aviva. He was probably born around 500 B.C. and died around 400 B.ation. This name became popular among Jews after the Babylonian exile. Today, many people have this name because it came very close to Adina which was not accepted by many Jewish communities. It is considered a feminine name even though it is used as a male name as well. The meaning of the name is "beautiful," "perfect," or "pleasant." This name was extremely popular with its usage going back hundreds of years before it fell out of style. In fact, it returned to popularity in the 20th century. Aviv is a combination of two letters: vav and iv.
