The story
Aviana is probably an elaboration of Ava, Behind the Name says, influenced by names such as Ariana, and in some cases it could be inspired by the word avian, "related to birds". Both readings are offered; neither is certain. The American record is precise about the arrival either way: about 53 girls in the 1980s, about 240 in the 1990s, about 1,100 in the 2000s, about 4,800 in the 2010s, and about 2,600 so far this decade. A name that is either Ava dressed for the opera or a bird taking off, and the source declines to say which: the rare modern coinage with two good stories, no obligation to choose, and a published record that quadrupled its bucket twice on the way up.
