Avys is in Origin.
Avys is a medieval English feminine given name, a manuscript-era spelling of Avis/Avice. The name entered England with the Normans as Old French Avice, itself from a continental Germanic root (seen in Ava, Aveza, Avila). From the late Middle Ages onward it was popularly linked with Latin avis “bird,” a folk etymology that supplied its prevailing meaning: “bird.”
Records show Avys, Avis, and Avice in 12th–14th-century rolls and parish registers, with the -y- reflecting common Middle English orthography. Use waned after the Tudor period, then was revived in the 19th century when nature-themed names returned to favor. Today Avys is rare, offering a vintage variant to more familiar Avis and Ava. Documented variants include Avis, Avice, Avise, Avys, and Latinized Avicia; short forms include Avy and Vie. Related names by root or association: Ava, Aveza, Avila.
Avys is exceptionally rare. There are only 1 recorded use on record, spread over 1 country.
