Avital (אֲבִיטָל) is a Hebrew name composed of av (father) and tal (dew) — meaning "father of dew" or "my father is dew." In Hebrew poetic tradition, dew represents divine blessing and gentle abundance.
Avital appears in 2 Samuel as one of King David's wives. The name is widely used in modern Israel and is rising in observant Jewish communities in the diaspora.
Avital does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Avital reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
