Aviah is Hebrew in Origin.

Aviah is a modern transliteration of the Hebrew name Aviyah (אֲבִיָּה). Built from avi, “my father,” and Yah, the divine name, it means “Yahweh is my father” or “my father is Yah.” The name is theophoric and appears throughout the Hebrew Bible under the Anglicized forms Abijah or Abiah, borne by figures such as a king of Judah and priestly leaders; in some passages a woman also carries the name (the mother of Hezekiah is called Abijah/Abi), giving it a genuinely unisex history.

Today Aviah is used in Jewish and broader English-speaking communities, with Aviya/Aviyah common in Israel and Aviah a streamlined international spelling. Variants and related forms include Aviyah, Aviya, Avia, Abijah, Abiah, and the longer Aviyahu/Abijahu; diminutives include Avi and Viah. The -ah ending mirrors Hebrew conventions and does not determine gender, allowing Aviah to read traditional yet contemporary across cultures.
