Avaya Origin and Meaning
The name Avaya is a girl's name meaning "life".
This elaboration of the popular Ava likely took inspiration from other on-trend choices such as Amaya, Nevaeh, and Alayah. Given to nearly 140 girls each year, alternative spelling Avayah is twice as popular and currently in the US Top 1000.
Family YouTubers The Banks used Avayah for their daughter in 2019, and it subsequently became the fastest rising girl name of the following year, bringing Avaya along with it.
