About Gavi
Usually derived from the Gavriel — the Hebrew form of Gabriel — Gavi is a cool, casual, and versatile nickname. Notably borne by Spanish footballer Gavi (Pablo Martín Páez Gavira), in this case it may be derived from Gaviria, a Basque name, possibly meaning "town with the blacksmith's hammer". In this case it might be said as gah-bee.
