Aviva comes from the Hebrew aviv, meaning spring — the season of new life, growth and light.
Musical and symmetrical, it is popular in Israel and among Jewish families worldwide, and its lively double-v sound makes it feel joyful and current.
For a child of hope and renewal, Aviva is springtime in a name.
Aviva 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 Aviva reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
