'''Aviana''' or '''Avianna''' is a feminine given name with multiple origins. It is a [Greenlandic](/source/Greenlandic_language) name, a variant of the Greenlandic name Avek, meaning "family", combined with the Greenlandic ending ''-na'' that is indicative of a first name.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Aviana|title = Aviana - Nordic Names}}</ref> It has been a popular name for girls in [Greenland](/source/Greenland) in recent years.<ref> {{Cite web|title=Greenlandic Statistics of 2012–2020|url=https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Greenlandic_Statistics_of_2012-2020|access-date=2022-01-23|website=Nordic Names}}</ref>

It is also considered a modern [English](/source/English_language) elaboration of [Ava](/source/Ava_(given_name)) or [Eva](/source/Eva_(name)) with the popular ''-ana'' or ''-anna'' ending for feminine given names in English, as in [Ariana](/source/Ariana_(name)).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.behindthename.com/name/aviana|title=Meaning, origin and history of the name Aviana|first=Mike|last=Campbell|website=Behind the Name}}</ref> It might also be derived from a combination of the [Hebrew](/source/Hebrew_language) [Avi](/source/Avi), meaning "my father" and [Anna](/source/Anna_(name)).

The name might also be derived from ''avis'' or ''avian'', the [Latin](/source/Latin_language) term for "bird".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nameberry.com/babyname/Aviana|title = Aviana - Baby Name Meaning, Origin, and Popularity}}</ref>
