Namesakes and origin of my name!

Hi all!

First of all I was named after the late actress Ava Gardner and was wondering why she isn't listed as a namesake under the name, as it is a fairly uncommon one and doesn't have many namesakes. I was also wondering if any the the entymologists here could help me out on whether or not my name is related to the name "Avis" meaning bird as I have heard it has, but mostly I think of my name as another form of Chava or Eve.

Hope you can help!

Ava :)

•BTW Eve can be a name given to mean 'woman' or 'temptress' as in biblical Eve, and 'twillight' or 'night' as in the English word eve. n/t · Silver · 2/7/2002, 8:30 PM

•The etymologists here may be able to help you, but the entomologists could only tell you if your name is related to aphid. ;) n/t · Barb · 2/7/2002, 4:09 PM

•Oh yes :) And the endymatologists will tell you if your shirt matches with your shoes :P n/t · Pavlos · 2/8/2002, 4:04 AM
