Aves is a modern unisex given name built from the Latin and Spanish word aves, “birds,” evoking flight, freedom, and the natural world. It also brushes up against Latin ave, “hail,” familiar from Ave Maria, which lends a gentle liturgical note. In English records, Aves appears as a surname, usually derived from the medieval feminine name Avis/Avice (from Old French and ultimately Germanic), later associated by folk etymology with Latin avis “bird.”

Used as a first name, Aves is a twenty-first‑century choice that fits the current fashion for crisp, nature‑forward, plural‑s names like Banks and Rhodes. While still rare, it reads easily across languages and works for any gender. Variants and related forms include Ave, Avis, Avice, Avie, Avey, and Ava; Avian and Avia are stylistic cousins. The primary meaning is “birds,” with an added echo of greeting or reverence from ave.
