Aveline
About Aveline
Aveline is a name that's long been an obscure cousin of more widely-used choices, but may come into its own riding the tail of the megapopular Ava, which may derive from the same root.
Although Aveline is a cognate of the French word for "hazlenut", the name actually derives from an obscure Germanic root, the meaning of which is not clear. Theories include "desired, wished for" and "water, island".
Aveline is different enough to sound distinct, but be warned: You will forever be explaining that no, it's not Adeline, not Evelyn, and so on.
Pronounced ah-veh-leen .
As of October 2026, Aveline ranked #2585 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1327 in 2016, Nameberry popularity #291.
Editor's take: The name Aveline is a girl's name of French origin meaning "desired; or island, water".
