Avalie is in Origin.

Avalie is a modern feminine given name, most often understood as an American elaboration of Ava with the -lie/-lee diminutive ending, and it can also be read as a variant of Avelie, the French pet form of Aveline. Ava descends from the medieval Germanic element avi (meaning uncertain, sometimes linked to notions of desire or to Latin avis “bird”), while Aveline is the Norman French diminutive of Ava; later folk association with French aveline “hazelnut” also colors the name’s sense.

The name was scarcely recorded before the late twentieth century, rising quietly in the 2000s alongside Ava and other -lee/-leigh forms in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Spelling variants include Avalee, Avaleigh, Avaley, Avelie, Aveli, and Avali; related forms are Ava, Aveline, and Evelyn. Meanings offered range from “little Ava” to “hazelnut,” lending Avalie a gently vintage yet contemporary charm.
