Aravah

Also spelled as Arava, this pretty yet rugged name has two possible nature meanings. On one hand, it may come from aravot, the word for willow branch, a significant part of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. On the other, it may come from Arabah a word for "desert", "prairie", or "wilderness", and used as the name for a place in Jordan. Either way, it is a strong and lovely choice and a possible alternative to Sahara, Savannah, Ava, or Aviva.

Pronounced ah-RAH-vuh.
