About Avis

Avis is a bird name that's been in hibernation for awhile, possibly due to the car rental association, but it could make a return on the wings of Ava. Baldwin brother Daniel chose it for his daughter.

Avis Everhard is the fictional narrator of the Jack London dystopian novel The Iron Heel. In the Harry Potter books, Avis is not a character, but a spell.

Avis is also given to boys.

Pronounced AY-vis.

As of October 2026, Avis ranked #13417 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #238 in 1912.
