What is the meaning of the name Avivah ?

The baby name Avivah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-VEE-vah (Hebrew: a-VEE-vah).

Avivah is Hebrew in Origin.

Avivah is a Hebrew feminine name rooted in aviv (אביב), the word for “spring” and the stage of young, ripening grain. As a variant transliteration of Aviva (אביבה), it carries connotations of renewal, blossoming, and fresh beginnings - the same imagery found in place names like Tel Aviv. The final -ah reflects the Hebrew feminine ending and an English spelling preference seen in names such as Sarah and Hannah.

In the Bible, aviv names the spring month and the barley’s “ear” stage (Exodus 13:4; 23:15); older English Bibles render it Abib. As a given name, Aviva/Avivah rose with the modern Hebrew revival and became common in Israel and Jewish communities abroad. The Avivah spelling is especially familiar in Anglophone contexts; a notable bearer is scholar Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg. Variants and related forms include Aviva (standard Israeli form), Avivit (a diminutive/derivative meaning “springlike”), and the unisex/masculine Aviv. Nicknames include Vivi, Viva, and Avi.
