Aravis

Aravis was the name of a female character in C.S. Lewis's A Horse and His Boy, and is also the name of a mountain range in southern France. With the rise of Ava, Avery, and indeed seemingly all names that start with A, Aravis may finally reach a wider audience.

The name of the mountain range may derive from the River Arve, which divides it from another set of mountains.

Pronounced AIR-uh-vis.

As of October 2026, Aravis ranked #13362 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #9175 in 2019.
