I like the name Ava I think it works GREAT for little girls and is good for women. It reminds me of a sweet little girl and honestly, a bit of a self centered woman.

I live in Iran. In Persian, Ava means harmonic sounds, nice sounds. For example sounds of nature, river, jungle, mountains... or sounds of music. Ava is a name for girls that was in rank 19 in Iran (2014). It is a new name that parents take for their children recently in Iran.

I love the Iranian and German (AH-vah) pronunciation. It sounds beautiful and the meaning of this is nice. I HATE the English "AY-və" pronunciation.

Just want to add an update. Whilst I love the sound of this pronunciation, Ava pronounced the English way (AY-və) has actually grown on me! I love both now. =)

The pronunciation for the Persian name is AH-vah like the German one listed here.

In most languages, besides English, this name is pronounced as Ahvah. Meaning can be either life or bird, based on the origin you refer to (Hebrew or Latin).
Luckily, it is still quite rare and special in Europe. We love the name and think it is beautiful, and tender yet strong, and will probably naming our soon to be daughter Ava.

I'm not sure where BtN got the meaning for this. Ava is neither sound nor water in Persian. 'ob' is water and 'seh-dah' is sound, according to my mom who speaks fluent Persian.

BtN is right on the origin of the name. It is Persian and means "voice, sound, or the call". The word 'Se-da' is the Arabic word for "sound" which, like many other Arabic words, has been borrowed into Persian. The actual Persian word for "sound" is, in fact, 'Ava'. And a more common Persian word for "voice" is 'neda' (also another Persian name).

This is my favorite way to pronounce this name (A-vuh). I like this name. I think it best suits a dark haired, teenage girl.

I love this name! It is cute, but I could picture a young or old person with this name.

I think this may mean "sound", because the Farsi word for water is a:b, pronounced like the first two letters of obnoxious or obtrusive or some other "ob" word. Anyway, thought you'd like to know that.
