Aviv

אֲבִיב

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: spring

• Aviv means "spring" in Hebrew, and it carries all the renewal and optimism that the season implies. It is woven into Jewish life through Passover, which falls in the month the Torah calls Aviv — the time of new growth and liberation. Tel Aviv, Israel's most vibrant city, literally has this name embedded in it, giving it an urban cool that is hard to beat.

  Short, modern, and bursting with meaning — it is no wonder this name is gaining traction among Hebrew-name seekers. Israeli singer Aviv Geffen, one of the country's biggest rock stars, gave it decades of rebellious cool. A name tied to renewal, Passover, and the Israeli landscape that still fits in three clean letters.
