What is the meaning of the name Avital ?

The baby name Avital is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /a.viˈtal/ (ah-vee-TAL).

Avital is Hebrew in Origin.

Avital is a Hebrew given name formed from avi (“father”/“my father”) + tal (“dew”), commonly rendered as “my father is dew” or “dew of God.” The imagery evokes life‑giving freshness and blessing in a dry climate. The biblical form Abital (אֲבִיטַל) appears in 2 Samuel 3:4 and 1 Chronicles 3:3 as one of King David’s wives, mother of Shephatiah.

In modern Israel, Avital functions as a unisex name, though it skews feminine, and it also occurs as a Jewish surname. Spellings and transliterations include Avital (standard Israeli), Abital (older/biblical), and Avitel in some Slavic contexts. Nicknames and short forms include Avi (especially for boys), Tal, and Tali. Related cognates built on tal are Tal and Talia/Talya, which share the “dew” element but differ etymologically and nuance. The name’s revival reflects 20th‑century Hebrew nature‑themed naming trends.
