Aviv is Hebrew in Origin.

Aviv (Hebrew: אביב, pronounced ah-VEEV) is a Hebrew name meaning “spring” and, by extension, “fresh young grain” and “renewal.” In the Torah, aviv denotes the stage when barley ripens and also names the spring month later called Nisan; older English Bibles render it as Abib. The seasonal sense gave the word strong associations with youth and new beginnings across Jewish tradition.

Used as a given name in modern Hebrew since the early 20th century, Aviv is common in Israel - primarily masculine but comfortably unisex - and has spread internationally in recent decades. Its cultural resonance is reinforced by Tel Aviv (“Hill of Spring”), emblematic of modern revival. Variants and related forms include the biblical month name Abib, the feminine Aviva/Avivah and Avivit, and the surname-derived Avivi; nicknames may be Avi or, in English contexts, Viv.
